Jesus was never one to hem and haw about the truth. He was less concerned about numbers and more concerned about authenticity of faith. In John 6:66, the Bible tells us that this caused many of His followers to turn away, and He was left with just the Twelve. He challenged the Twelve, saying, “Are you going to leave Me, too?” And Peter says, “Where else would we go? You have the Words of Life.” The truth of Christ is so compelling that those who are called by Him have no where else to go. Jesus is the only source of life, and He still remains so today.
