Jesus ran them off

 by David Long

Did you know that Jesus ran people off? At one point Jesus fed 5000 people (John 6:10). That same group of people came seeking Jesus (John 6:22-25). Jesus told them that the only reason they were following Him was because of the food He provided for them (John 6:26). Then Jesus taught them some hard truths (John 6:27-65). How did they respond? "From that time many of his disciples when back, and walked no more with Him" (John 6:66). Jesus ran them off. Why? Because the reason why people followed Him mattered to Him and it still does today!!
