What does 'I will not send them away' mean?

Answered in 1 source

'I will not send them away' expresses Jesus' promise to welcome all who come to Him without rejection, offering grace and provision.

When Jesus states, 'I will not send them away,' He reassures those who approach Him that their needs and concerns are met with compassion, not dismissal. This promise signifies the heart of Christ's gospel, emphasizing that no sinner is too far removed from His grace. In John 6:37, He affirms this commitment, stating that He will never cast out anyone who comes to Him. This reflection of His loving nature comforts believers, assuring them that they can bring their burdens, doubts, and needs to Him without fear of rejection. It highlights the inclusiveness of the gospel and the sufficiency of Christ’s provision for the soul's deepest needs.
