In John 6 many of Jesus' disciples were offended at what He was teaching and so they "went back, and walked no more with him." People don't like to hear hard things. We tend to get offended and break ties with people before we understand. And we generally don't stay connected long enough to find what will bring us more life and make our lives better. Our biggest adversary in life is not the devil or other people, it is our own self.
