Pink Wellies #2: In life do we take the easy path or the hard path? John 6:60-69 Jesus is difficult

Jesus is difficult John 6 60-69
Weight loss is hard, eating healthy and working out is hard. But we have to ask ourselves are we going to choose the hard path or the easy path?
Following Jesus is difficult. It’s a struggle. We will fail to do it at times.
But that failure doesn’t mean it’s not worth it nor that we’ve ruined anything. Because Jesus solves even that failure in what he provides. When we’ve been tempted to and have followed and easier path rather than following Jesus, Jesus forgives that.
When we’ve stumbled in our dedication to Jesus and not lived our lives the way that we should to thank him for what he’s done for us, Jesus forgives that. When we’ve let sin or anything else become more important to us than what God does for us in Jesus’ life and death in our place, Jesus forgives that.
Difficult as it is to follow Jesus, his forgiveness restores us at every single misstep and failure. Following Jesus is difficult, but it is not something we do alone.
