We must think intelligently to be among “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”   God’s IQ Test #3 is fun!  It is in Today’s Reading,  John 6:60-69.
~
Jesus had repeated His bizarre, Life-Giving Word 12 times!  “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.
~
What happened?   “Many of the disciples of Jesus who were listening said, ‘This saying is hard; who can accept it?’”
~
What did Jesus say when they complained?   “Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, ‘Does that shock you?’
~
Then, He told them about The Great Miracle they would soon see!  His Ascension into Heaven!   He asked if this would be enough to “shock” them into belief?
~

“What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?”

~

Then, Jesus told His followers to let The Holy Spirit lead them!

“It is the Spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail.  The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life.”  Jesus made it clear!  It is The Holy Spirit Who lets some obey Every Teaching from The Son!

“But there are some of you who do not believe.  Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him.”

Then, Jesus brought The Father into His Teaching.

“And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.”   

The Son is clear!  He told us that The Father and The Holy Spirit are One with The Son!   The Holy Trinity is in Perfect Agreement in Heaven and on earth!

~

“Many” failed God’s IQ Test #3!  “As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer walked with him.”  In every generation, “many” love their opinions more than obeying Jesus.

~

Then, Jesus gave His disciples the second part of God’s IQ Test #3.

“Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?”

Who was the first person on earth to pass God’s IQ Test #3?   “Simon Peter answered him, ‘Master, to whom shall we go?  You have the words of eternal life.  We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”

~

Catholics follow our First Pope’s example!   “many” do not!  For 2,000 years, The Profiteers of Protestantism have refused “to believe” This Teaching from Jesus Christ!

“And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”

For 2,ooo years, The Profiteers of Protestantism have proudly proclaimed!  “Jesus is wrong!  We can have His ‘life in’ us without eating His Body and drinking His Blood.”

They choose to fail God’s IQ Test #3!

That’s Protestantism!

It’s fun to be Catholic!  Forever.
