1. This is a hard teaching (60-66)

Most of the people to whom Jesus had given bread in the wilderness left him. He offered them the word of eternal life, but they only wanted bread. Jesus had known all along that some would betray him, but still it was painful to see them reject God's love and life, and go away.

2. Do you want to leave too? (67-69)

When Jesus asked the Twelve this question, Peter answered in verses 68-69. He saw the alternative to following Jesus--a meaningless, useless life, a dead-end street. He had received Jesus' words in his heart, and he knew that they were the words of life.

3. Yet one of you is a devil (70-71)

Judas Iscariot looked like a disciple, but he was a materialist, like the crowd who had left. Perhaps in his heart he took the first step toward betrayal. Jesus stilled loved him and sought to warn him.

Application: Lord, you have the words of eternal life; to whom else can I go? Help me to be your disciple throughout my lifetime.
One Word: The majority is not always right!
