Choose Jesus - Choose Life

In the middle of the garden were the tree of life
and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Gen 2:9b

At the centre was a choice. Will choose to love Me, Your Creator, Your Lover?

They were deceived and chose otherwise.

We also have a choice before us. Will you choose LIFE? Will you love Me, Your Creator, Your Redeemer, Your Lover, Your Life?

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. John 1:1-4

And this is the judgement: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their works were evil. John 5:19

Do you choose Life and Light? I pray your heart would say "Yes!"

Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever." John 6:53-58

"Hard teaching", they said. But, Jesus calls them on what really is in their hearts. They were taking offense - they did not believe.

Jesus offers the Twelve a choice.

Ater this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.
So Jesus said to the Twelve, "Do you want to go away as well?"
Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."
Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the Twelve? And yet one of you is a devil." John 6:66-70

Will you and I be like Peter? He had come to believe and know the One who gives life - eternal life.

Choose Jesus. He's chosen you.
