As Jesus DROVE away followers by asking them to eat His flesh and drink His blood He turned to Peter and asked him if he wanted to go to…..to which Peter responded:  “Where will I go?  You, and you alone, hold the keys to eternal life.”

 

When Peter was in tune with the Father, He was right on.

 

That, and the fact that he made great mistakes, has always drawn me to him.

 

My mistakes have sometimes driven me to my knees—but I have hope because of Peter…..and often I am crying out to the Lord, after screwing it all up, to ask Him to just come and give me the keys eternal life.

 

What a concept.

 

The concept of WHERE.

 

For Joseph, it was prison.

 

For Abraham, it was wandering and traveling.

 

For Moses, it was leading a group of people who he had brought out of Egypt—

but the harder thing was driving Egypt out of them.

 

For Esther, it was putting herself in front of a King and endangering her life.

 

For Daniel, it was in a den full of hungry lions.

 

For Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, it was in a blazing furnace.

 

For John, it was on an island, alone, to carry out his days.

 

WHERE

 

I think sometimes we get caught up in:  “What is he going to do to me?”  Am I going to be in the middle of the Australian Outback eating bugs in the Name of Jesus?

 

But the reality sometimes gets twisted in our minds…..

 

The reality is exactly what Peter said:  Where will I go?……

 

Think about it:  Where Will You Go?

 

There is no place we can go without God that will truly fill us up.

 

And…..WITH GOD….THERE IS NO PLACE WE CAN BE THAT CAN HURT US.

 

How baffled the prison guard must have been listening to Paul and Silas singing worship songs…rejoicing and celebrating…while sitting in chains in a dingy prison cell.

 

Paul found out something that we must never wait to find out……

Being in prison was the very thing that set him free…..because He had Jesus.

 

“Where?” is not a geographic location……it is the state of where you choose to put your heart.

And WHERE we put our heart changes EVERYTHING!

 

In The Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
