John 6:64-65

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 6:64-65. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

"No man " - no, not even an apostle, - not the one who ate bread with Christ, and was his familiar friend, - not even he could come without being drawn by God. And he did not come to Christ; in the sense in which our Lord used the Word, Judas never really came to him, but perished in his sin. The Father must draw us with cords divine, or else to the Son we shall never come.
