And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Christ will never have finished his work upon believers till he has raised their bodies from the grave, and glorified them like his own resurrection body. He will never cease from...

John 6:41-42

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? They did know his mother; but they made a mistake, which may have seemed a very slight one to them, when they said that they knew his father. Yet...

The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? Familiarity breeds contempt. Because the Jews knew Jesus and his kindred after the flesh, therefore they would not...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Because he said, I am the bread which came down from heavens. And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven! There are always some who complain that the gospel is “too commonplace, too well-known.” They already know all that is to be known about it, just...

John 6:42

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the, son, of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? This is just the way with men, they judge by outward appearances; and if the gospel comes to them as a thing beloved of poor men, if it be preached with much eloquence, if the service be without; the...

John 6:43-44

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves, No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day, Note the unflinching boldness of Christ.

John 6:43

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. It was a muttering that was scarcely audible, but Jesus heard it, and he checked it. The Lord cannot take any delight in murmuring: “Murmur not among yourselves.”

John 6:43-44

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and will raise him up at the last day. This was high ground for Christ to take; it was as much as to say, “You need not murmur; I did not expect that you would believe in me. I know that human nature is...

John 6:44-46

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. He corrects the notion into which they might have fallen that they...

John 6:44

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him. — “You are not drawn unto me; therefore it is clear that you are not the subjects of divine grace. You think you are judging me, but in so doing you are really judging and condemning yourselves.” Whenever men sit in judgment on the gospel, they soon let us know what kind of...

John 6:44

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. You did not expect the Saviour to say just that, did you? He always speaks the truth, even though he has to lay the axe at the root of the tree of self-confidence. He does not seem to be encouraging his hearers, but rather to be repelling...

John 6:45

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
