John 6:44-45; 65
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me--
65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.
Jesus is worthy of their confidence, because:
- He perfectly satisfies our spiritual hunger (He who comes to Me shall never hunger)
- He receives all who come to Him (All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out)
- He isn't interested in His own agenda, but His Father's (not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me)
- He will keep those who come to Him safe (all He has given Me I should lose nothing)
- The destiny of those who believe in Him is eternal life (everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life)
