Choose you this day whom ye will serve...Will ye also go away?

There are only two paths to take.

This is applicable to everyone. There are no exceptions.

Joshua challenged the people during his day, prior to the coming messiah:

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15

We ought to respond the same as did the people in their response to Joshua's challenge:

And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods; Joshua 24:16

Go forward some 1375 or so years to the time of Jesus where He said some very hard things. Some of those that were following Jesus did not like what Jesus said so they chose to go the way of man and left Jesus.

This happened in John chapter 6 verse 66.

Ironically enough 666 is where we read about these men leaving Jesus...but that is just an interesting side note...

From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. John 6:66

Jesus challenged those who stayed with Him:

Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? John 6:67

We ought to respond the same as did Peter in his response to Jesus' challenge:

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. John 6:68-69

There is only one way to the Father and that is through Jesus Christ.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36
