To Whom Shall We Go

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 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 that Christ, the Son of the living God.

John 6:66–69 KJV 1900

From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 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 that Christ, the Son of the living God.

INTRODUCTION:

Most everyone has someone to whom they turn for advice. In time of sickness, they seek the advice of a doctor; in legal matters, they seek the advice of a lawyer. But there are some things for which man does not have the answer. As we face eternity with a never dying soul, to whom shall we turn?

I. TO WHOM SHALL WE GO WITH OUR SINS?

A. Shall we go to some outstanding man of wealth?

Psalm 49:7 KJV 1900

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him:

B. Shall we go to some modernistic positive thinking preacher, who would try to get us to forget our sins by covering them with a change of thinking? Proverbs 28:13. (The sinner is negative.)

B. Shall we go to some modernistic positive thinking preacher, who would try to get us to forget our sins by covering them with a change of thinking?

Proverbs 28:13 KJV 1900

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

(The sinner is negative.)

C. Shall we go to some earthy priest and confess them?

1 Timothy 2:5 KJV 1900

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

D. Shall we go to Calvary, to Christ who said, “Come unto Me”? Matthew 11:28–30.

1. It is a fact that Christ died for our sins. Isaiah 53:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Corinthians 15:3.

2. It is a fact that if we refuse or fail to come to Him, we shall die in our sins. John 8:21, 24.

II. TO WHOM SHALL WE GO FOR INWARD PEACE?

A. The sinner has no peace and there is no peace to be found in the pleasures of sin.

Isaiah 57:20–21 KJV 1900

But the wicked are like the troubled sea, When it cannot rest, Whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

B. True peace is to be found only in Jesus Christ. John 14:27, cf. Isaiah 48:18. This peace became possible at a great price. Colossians 1:20. So easy to receive. Romans 8:1.

III. TO WHOM SHALL WE GO FOR ASSURANCE AND SECURITY?

A. Not to our own opinion alone.

Proverbs 14:12 KJV 1900

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.

B. Not to some religious pretender. 2 John 7.

B. Not to some religious pretender.

2 John 7 KJV 1900

For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

C. We can go to Christ Jesus for assurance and security. John 10:27–29.

IV. TO WHOM SHALL WE GO WHEN LIFE’S DAY CLOSES?

A. This depends entirely upon our decision for or against Christ. If we have accepted Him, we can rest upon.

Psalm 23:4 KJV 1900

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

B. If we have rejected Him, we can be sure of an eternal burning hell. Matthew 7:21–23.
