The right way is not necessarily the most popular one

Morning: Psalms 70, 71; Genesis 23:1-20; Hebrews 11:32-12:2
Evening: Psalm 74; John 6:60-71

Many disciples turn away from Jesus - they don’t believe, or they fear the consequences of following him. The Letter to the Hebrews admits that Jesus’ Way is hard … but many, by following it, find life. Perhaps they suffer for their faith, but they keep on, believing in this good path. The right way in life is not necessarily the most popular one. The danger is that, instead of choosing a way that is vital and real, but risky, we choose nothing and safety. Ships are safe in harbour, but that’s not what ships are for … nor people.
