Our Lord Jesus Christ called men to follow Him, but He plainly taught that "no man can come unto me, except it were given him of my Father" (John 6:65). It is not surprising that many of His early followers, upon hearing these words, went back and walked no more with Him. Such teaching cannot but be deeply disturbing to the natural mind. It takes from sinful men much of the power of self-determination. It cuts the ground out from under their...

In the ''sixth'' chapter of John our Lord makes some statements which gospel Christians seem afraid to talk about. The average one of us manages to live with them by the simple trick of ignoring them. They are such as these: 1. Only they come to Christ who have been given to Him by the Father (John 6:37). 2. No one can come of himself; he must first be drawn by the Father (John 6:44). 3. The ability...

For Reading and Meditation:     Acts 10:23-48

If, as the Scripture declares, Jesus is the only way, what about people in other faiths? First, we must be clear that there is no such thing as self-salvation. Nobody can achieve salvation by his or her religion, sincerity, or good works. Second, Jesus Christ is the only way to God and the only Savior. Our Lord Himself...

The next aspect of Christian uniqueness we consider is the Person of our Lord Himself. "Christianity is Christ," said one great preacher. "He is not just the Founder of Christianity but its very foundation. On Him rests the weight of bringing all men and women to God." It is important to reflect at this point, as John...

For Reading and Meditation:     John 6:60-71

We come now to what is without question the topmost rung of the ladder which the psalmist began to ascend when he entered the sanctuary of God. Here, in view of his experience, he can do nothing but give himself to the adoration of God. This is what he says: "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire...

Many have forsaken Christ, and have walked no more with him; but what reason have YOU to make a change? Has there been any reason for it in the past? Has not Jesus proved himself all-sufficient? He appeals to you this morning-"Have I been a wilderness unto you?" When your soul has simply trusted Jesus, have you ever been confounded? Have you not up till now found your Lord to be a compassionate and generous friend to you, and has not simple faith in him...

The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. (John 6:63 NLT)



It is one thing to have a
conception or apprehension of the purpose of God, and to be given
up to it, but it is an extra thing to know how God would realize
His purpose. It is still another thing to know the means He would
employ. There are many who have a true conception of what...

The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life. (John 6:63)





This Life is a very vast Life. It reaches into God's great
purpose, and we are a part of it;
we are "the called according to His purpose." We want
to know the purpose; we want to know our place in the
purpose; we want to know our faculties, our functions.
How shall this be?...

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh accomplishes nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit
and life. (John 6:63 ISV)



Do you notice that whenever the Spirit is
mentioned the Spirit is related to Life? Life, then, is a matter of
righteousness. The "ministration of righteousness" means the ministration of
Life, or the standing in Life with an...

The Man Christ Jesus. § [Jesus came] in the likeness of men. [He was] found in appearance as a man. § Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death.I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. § Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once...
