Jesus didn’t assemble his students in a classroom or synagogue. Jesus’ way of teaching was to take his disciples on a road trip. With the simple but powerful words, “Come, follow me,” he invited fisherman and tax collectors to hit the road where they would see him bring his message to life at every twist and turn. The road is filled with the joy of being with the Savior and the challenge of carrying our own crosses. We will face uphill challenges and behold beautiful sunrises. We will grow closer to him and to each other and to our neighbors. We will have unbelievable adventures and reach an unimaginable destination. But only if we accept the invitation. Wherever he is inviting you to go-don’t hesitate. 

One day, after some disciples had drifted away he asked the remaining ones the following question: John 6:66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. 67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
