Peter’s Confession
(John 6:66-71) The Lord had just spoken difficult things to many of those who followed him. He showed them that it was necessary that they eat his flesh and drink his blood if they were to enter the kingdom of God. These were hard sayings for them to comprehend and as a result many of…
