Jesus: Life's Only True Destination!
Welcome, Faith Force Eternal Life Seekers! Today, we’re learning why Jesus is the only destination that offers eternal life, as shared in John 6:68.
Verse Of The Day:
"Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.'" (John 6:68)
Have you ever been at an airport with hundreds of destinations but only one that leads home? Peter faced the same kind of choice with Jesus!
Many people were leaving Jesus because His teachings seemed too hard to understand or follow. Jesus asked His disciples if they wanted to leave too. That’s when Peter said something incredible: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”
Peter realized that even though following Jesus wasn’t always easy, there was literally nowhere else to go for what really mattered! Other teachers might offer wisdom, other leaders might make promises, but only Jesus has “the words of eternal life.” Peter understood that leaving Jesus meant giving up the only source of eternal life in the universe. When you’ve found the one person who can give you eternal life, why would you go anywhere else?
Jesus - Our Only Destination Choice Board:
Create a choice board using a piece of cardboard and pushpins! Make destination cards showing different life paths people choose (money, fame, popularity, etc.) and pin them around the edges. In the center, place a large card saying “JESUS – Words of Eternal Life.” Draw arrows from all the other destinations leading to dead ends, but show Jesus leading to eternal life. This reminds you that while the world offers many choices, only Jesus offers eternal life!
Time For A Prayer:
Dear Jesus, like Peter, we recognize that You have the words of eternal life! When the world offers us many different paths and choices, help us remember that only You can give us what our souls truly need. Thank You that we don't have to search everywhere for eternal life - You are the source. Keep our hearts focused on You! Amen.
Keep choosing Jesus as your eternal destination, Faith Force Eternal Life Seekers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that Jesus alone has the words of eternal life!
