In this sermon on John 6:60–71, Zack DiPrima examines the moment when many disciples abandon Jesus after hearing His difficult teaching. The crowd recoils at the Lord’s demand for total allegiance, revealing the difference between superficial interest in Jesus and genuine faith. As the multitude departs, Peter’s confession stands in stark contrast: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” The passage highlights the sovereignty of God in salvation, the necessity of the Spirit’s work in bringing sinners to life, and the sobering warning that proximity to Christ does not guarantee true faith, as seen in Judas. Ultimately, the sermon calls hearers to cling to Christ alone, the only one who offers eternal life.
