Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. “You are not to take them as if they were flesh, and understand them carnally.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Do not look at them as dead words regard them as full of life, and understand them in their living spiritual sense.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: That is to say, it is the meaning of Christ’s words that gives life, not the words themselves; and if we stumble at the letter, and begin to ask, “How can we eat the flesh of Christ?” taking that expression literally, it will kill us. We need to get into the spirit of what he says, the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not.

May God grant that, ere this day is quite over,...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But there are some of you that believe not. Some of Christ’s own disciples, some who had kept him company, believer! not This was a very sad statement for Jesus to be obliged to make; but it must be made today about many professed Christians: “There are some of you that believe not.” Joh_6:64. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that...

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. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with 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. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Did he want them? I trow not He desired not to have around him a mass of chaff, but the pure winnowed corn.

Jesus answered them, have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? Our Lord often surprises us by the way in which he speaks; he does not say what we should have expected to hear...

Answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. That was a very conclusive way of answering one question by another: “Will ye also go away?” “Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.” Brother, sister, if we wandered from Christ, where could we go? And how can we leave him when he has the words...
