Morton Presbyterian Church

Although crowds of people followed Jesus at first, almost everyone left him. They didn’t understand him, and they were disappointed that he did not do what they wanted him to do. When he asked the remaining twelve, “Do you want to go away, too?” Peter answered, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of everlasting life.” They chose to stay. In times of pain and uncertainty, when we are dismayed and disappointed with the way things are and even disappointed and angry with God, we can make the same choice: Lord, we don’t understand, but where else can we go but you? Lord, you have the words of everlasting life.
