“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” (John 6: 68)

Some followers of Jesus left Him after He told them: “unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.” From a humanistic perspective, Jesus’ words are absolutely hard to understand, as even today, it is difficult for us to understand the mystery of the Eucharist. However, Jesus wants us to learn to see things from God’s perspective. The problem is whether we have the confidence to accept what Jesus said.

One time, Peter tried to prevent Jesus from going to Jerusalem because of potential persecution by the scribes and the priests. Jesus said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.” Clearly, Jesus wants us to learn how to see things as God does.

Peter’s words “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” Indicate that even though we may not completely understand everything that Jesus says, nonetheless we say, “Lord, we trust in You!”
