HANDLING A WALK OUT
John 6:60-71
On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard
teaching. Who can accept?" Aware that his disciples were
grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you?
What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before!

Holy One of God." Then Jesus replied, "Have I not chosen you,
the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil " (He meant Judas, the son
of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to
betray him.)
If anyone knew what it felt like for someone to walk out on

handling a "walk-out"... when someone leaves you.
Last week, as I watched "Love Will Be Our Home" I sat on the
front row both Saturday night and Sunday morning and reflected
on my family and from where I ...
