THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE
The lengthy discourse on the Bread of Life has come to an end and with it is also the time to decide for or against Jesus. Some listeners say that the doctrine is difficult to follow and they decide to leave Jesus. Jesus is aware that only those who have received the gift of faith can stay with Jesus. The disciples of Jesus decide to stay with him while the larger group consisting of Jews decide to leave. The confession of Peter is the most suitable reaction, he says that there is no one else to whom we can go. Jesus has the words of eternal life for he is the Holy One of God. In the First Reading Joshua summons the Israelites at Shechem and urges them to choose between Yahweh and the gods of the Amorites. In the Second Reading Paul uses the analogy of the union between husband and wife to express the bond that exists between Christ and the Church.
