In today’s gospel the disciples take offense at Jesus’ teaching about the bread of life, and many of Jesus’ disciples no longer went about with him. Against this, Peter confessed, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life.” Paul also reminds us that God’s word is like armor that protects and helps us in our spiritual struggle with evil in this world. As ambassadors of the gospel, we are to keep alert and pray in the Spirit at all times.
