Well we will be doing our devotions out at the campsite, so if you want to study the same passage that we are looking at Then read this passage below!

John 6:60-71

60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?”
61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you?
62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before?
63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him.
65 And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”
66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.
67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
68 But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69 Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”
71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.

What a great passage! Some people will choose to follow Christ, and some people will choose to go astray. I think that years from now, the people who choose to follow Christ will receive the fruit of the decisions they make. But those who go astray will suffer the consequences of thier sin.

Many turned away but only twelve stayed faithful... and truely: Even one person of those 12 would betray Christ.

Dont betray Christ. Make your theme the words that Peter said: "Lord, To Whom Shall We Go?"
