No Second Opinion - Tozer

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go?  Thou hast the words of eternal life.  John 6:68

We who have admitted Jesus Christ into our lives as Savior and Lord are happy indeed that we did so.  In matters of health care, we are familiar with the custom of a "second opinion."  If I go to a doctor and he or she advises me to have surgery, I can leave that office and consult with another specialist about my condition.  Concerning our decision to receive Jesus Christ, we surely would have been ill-advised to go out and try to get a second opinion!  Jesus Christ is God's last word to us.  There is no other.  God has headed up all of our help and forgiveness and blessing in the person of Jesus Christ, the Son... We may not like what the Great Physician tells us about ourselves and our sin.  But where else can we go?  Peter supplied the answer to that question.  "Lord, to whom shall we go?  Thou hast the words of eternal life.  And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the Living God" (John 6:68-69)... This is the Savior whom God is offering.  He is the eternal Son, equal to the Father in His Godhead, co-eternal and of one substance with the Father... He is speaking.  We should listen!

Lord, help me remember that Christ is Your final word, and that's all I need.  He has the words of eternal life; let me rest in that.  Amen.
