You've probably noticed that it's easy to get swept up in the crowd mentality. Mob psychology is very powerful and it causes us to act without thinking. Perhaps you've even seen this in yourself. It's not hard to get carried away by the tide of culture. You don't even have to put forth an effort. Simply step into the current and you're floating along. This is what Jesus experienced not long after feeding several thousand people. All but a few were following him for what they could get out of him. So when Jesus calls the people to something deeper, they begin to leave. In this moment you can sense the tender heart of Jesus as he turns to Peter and asks, "Do you want to leave also?" Peter's response is the bare minimum and yet it is profound. "Lord, to whom shall we go. You have words of eternal life." Dietrich Bonhoeffer said this: "Discipleship is not an offer that man makes to Christ." He's right. Discipleship is the high calling from Jesus to live a life of reckless abandon for the Kingdom of God!
