In life, we face many crossroads, uncertainties, and challenges that make us wonder where to turn. Pondering as to why Peter asked Jesus in John 6:68 “To whom shall we go?”, I see a deep timeless question, and today, I ask you the same question.

Peter’s response to Jesus reminds us that only Christ has the answers we need. When we encounter trials or when the world’s answers fall short, this passage invites us to look to Jesus as our unchanging guide and foundation.

Key Takeaway to To Whom Shall We Go?

  • Whom Shall We Go: When life feels uncertain, remember that Jesus alone holds the words of eternal life and offers the guidance we seek.

Anchor Bible Verse of the Day

But Simon Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.’

— John 6:68 (NKJV)

In this verse, Peter is responding to Jesus after many disciples turn away from Him because of His hard teachings. Peter acknowledges that, despite challenges, there is no other place to go for truth and life.

Jesus alone offers eternal wisdom and the promise of everlasting life. Peter’s words reveal a trust in Jesus that is based on who He is and what He offers—a life that transcends the temporary struggles and difficulties of this world.

Key Explanations

  • Lord, to whom shall we go?: This phrase shows that Peter sees Jesus as the only true source of life and guidance. No one else can fulfill or answer the deep needs of the soul.
  • Words of eternal life: Jesus’s teachings offer life beyond the physical realm, providing spiritual nourishment and the path to eternal life with God.

Reflection on To Whom Shall We Go?

When we face struggles, it’s easy to look around for help, guidance, or relief. We may turn to friends, family, or even worldly solutions that promise quick fixes.

But as Peter reminds us in his words, or rather question, “Lord, To Whom Shall We Go?” means true answers and eternal life are found only in Jesus.

In John 14:6, Jesus says,

I am the way, the truth, and the life.

Like Peter, we’re called to put our trust fully in Jesus, recognizing that He alone has the truth we need. This perspective should reshape how we approach our daily challenges.

Beloved, the words of Jesus are a light to our path (Psalm 119:105), and they bring us peace when everything else seems uncertain.

Trusting in His guidance means letting go of temporary fixes and anchoring our lives in His eternal promises. This faith is not always easy, but it brings a lasting peace that goes beyond our circumstances.

When we question “Where should we go?” in our lives, let us remember that Jesus has invited us to come to Him (Matthew 11:28), to lay down our burdens, and to find rest in His care.
