I’m not sure if this is the best place to post this thread, but I feel the need to put it within Apologetics.

Of course, when Christ turns to the Apostles and asks if they will leave too, we see one of the most beautiful responses in the entire Bible: St. Peter says, “Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.” John 6.69
