This Gospel is likely one of the most difficult to understand. Understandably, his first listeners are struggling to comprehend this teaching especially because they were taking Jesus literally. Jesus develops the lesson inviting his listeners to think on the level of Spirit.
We have an account of a significant loss of disciples here. Many of the disciples found the teaching to be too much to understand and so they not only leave but John describes them as going back and returning to their former way of life. I guess you cannot blame them for leaving. Jesus was challenging them to think outside the box.
What does this mean? They weren’t doing anything wrong; they were giving up an opportunity to grow spiritually with Jesus himself. Could they come back?
