Following Jesus isn’t always easy. In fact, sometimes His words are hard to hear.

In Week 3 of our series Questions Jesus Asked, Mingo Palacios unpacks a powerful and personal question from Jesus in :

“You do not want to leave too, do you?” (John 6:67)

After a crowd of followers walked away from Jesus because His teaching felt too difficult, too offensive, or too demanding, Jesus turns to His closest disciples and asks them to decide: Are you staying… or leaving too?

In this message, we explore:

Why People Walk Away from Jesus

Not because His teaching is confusing—but because it challenges our expectations, control, and comfort.

Four “Hard Truths” That Still Push People Away Today

Jesus won’t be used for our personal or political agendas

He offers more than temporary, physical solutions—He meets deeper spiritual needs

He is bigger than our limited understanding

He calls for full surrender, not partial commitment

The Danger of Shallow Faith

Like the parable of the seed, faith without roots can’t last when life gets hard.

The Invitation to Stay

When everything feels uncertain, Peter responds with clarity:

“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

This message is a call to examine your faith—not just whether you believe in Jesus, but whether you’re truly following Him.

Because at some point, we all have to answer the question:

Will I keep walking with Jesus… even when it’s hard?
