John 6:68-69:
"Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go?
Thou hast the words of eternal life, and we believe and are sure that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
This is Simon Peter's response to Jesus who asks, "Will you also go away?" The previous verse mentions that many of the "disciples" went back and did not walk with Jesus anymore. Peter, however, has the wise answer. He and the other eleven had nowhere else to go, for only Christ had and has the words of eternal life.
The devil and the flesh often tempt us to walk away, to chuck this Christian lifestyle, to join the world and have "fun." But we know that "the pleasures of sin are only for a season." We know a day of reckoning is nigh. We know that the only path to peace and joy is the narrow road, the road that leads to Jesus Christ.
May each of us walk more closely to Him this month.
