“While He (Jesus) was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name. But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all. He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.” John 2:23-25 Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst. But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.” John 6:35-36
However, just after these things, many who believed claimed that this teaching was too hard and they stopped following Him. Jesus explained, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him. From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.” John 6:65-66 It is true that many who believe in Jesus’ name will end up walking away and no longer follow Christ once their faith is tested or they are pressed to separate themselves from the things of this world (see the Parable of the Sower: Matthew 13:1-13 & 13:18-23).
What do you believe Jesus was telling us when He said, “For many are called, but few are chosen?” Matthew 22:14
"Hell is for wimps, it takes guts to face the truth!"
That sums it up for me as to what Jesus was saying.
