+------Where Else Can We Go?; Peter's Proclamation Of Loyalty To Jesus

In a sense Judas Maccabeus,
God bless the dead, taught us,
albeit valorous, the sword of the
State’s slaughter of defectors.
Nehemiah, Im sure, etched
in toppled stone…“we here
invoke memories of David, King”
raising morale for our wall’s rebuilding
like ghosts (before being razed
again). Our collective hearts
a chick under Hen’s wings of
expectation since then. So
where else can we go? Your words
ethereal, your touch divine.
In just a moment, we know, Caesar
will die. We will know –a life
Hebrews always wanted but never had.

-----John 6:61-69
Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.” From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
