Are You Chosen to Follow Jesus?
What was the real issue in this story? It was about being chosen by God. The Hebrews were chosen from all the nations of the world to be God's special people. Similarly, the NT teaches us that all followers of Jesus Christ, both Jews and Gentiles, are chosen by God to be His special people in these last days of time. Instead of choosing only one ethnic group to save, God chooses people from all ethnic groups. God chooses Jews and Gentiles from all over the world to be His chosen people. These people are chosen to follow the Messiah. Again, they are not chosen because they are intrinsically better than anybody else. In fact, they are sinners like everybody else. Instead, they are chosen on the same basis that God chose Abraham; they are chosen because of their trusting, obedient faith in God. They believe God's word and they accept God's Messiah--God's own Son, Jesus--as their personal Savior and Lord. I will briefly explain three implications of being one of God's chosen people.

Living Expectantly

Following Jesus
What happens when you discover that God's agenda is different than your agenda? We have two options: Become bitter, or Surrender. John 6 tells the story of Jesus drawing a line in the sand regarding whose agenda His disciples would follow. Many decided that His agenda was too different, and they couldn't follow Him. Peter, however, surrendered to Jesus' agenda. Where are you when it comes to Jesus' agenda?
