To Whom Shall We Go?

"Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life." 
John 6:68

John writes that there were followers of the Lord who turned away and left Him. Jesus asks his twelve disciples if they, too, will leave. Peter answers the Lord with great wisdom. Whom would they go to? No one else has shown them the way to eternal life. The Pharisees have only burdened them with the law, it can't save them. Jesus, on the other hand, has promised them eternal life if they will believe on Him. It is not through the law that they will be redeemed, but through Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. The same is true today. Jesus has the "words of eternal life". To whom else shall we go for salvation?
