"From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him."

It terrifies me to read this verse. It serves as a reminder that many people simply stopped following Jesus when things became difficult to comprehend. This is not only because of the three numbers in the reference, but also because it is interesting due to the three numbers in the reference. Having dispelled their preconceived notions of religious matters and confronted them with their motivations, they left the meeting. In the event that things become difficult in my discipleship and I am unable to figure out why they are occurring, what will I do? With hope, prayer, and faith, I will continue to follow until the Lord's path becomes clearer.
