John chapter 6, and look at verse
60. Verse 60. Many, therefore, of his disciples,
when they had heard, heard what our Lord had been talking about,
said, This is a hard saying. Who can hear it? Who can hear
it? From that time, many disciples went back and
walked no more with our Lord Jesus Christ. A multitude turned
and walked away from Him. And what time was He talking
about? Well, look back over in verse 25. And our Lord began
teaching this people. And this was the day after He
had fed five thousand with five loaves and two fishes. This is
the day after that. And our Lord Jesus Christ here
began to teach them and they found him on the other side of
the sea. They began to say, Rabbi, how did you come here? And our
Lord said, you seek me not for the miracles, but because you
did eat and were filled with the loaves. And now the soul
winner, when our Lord Jesus Christ and these multitudes of disciples
turn to walk no more with Him, what would they do? How would
they deal with that? How would a soul winner deal with a bunch
of people that the Lord Jesus Christ, they heard what He said
and said, this is just too hard. We can't take it. We're not going
to take it. We're not going to believe it.
And we're just going to walk away. And oh my! They would get upset and they'd
say, wait a minute, wait a minute. They'd try to renew them up.
But when we look at what our Lord's saying, they said, they
was the one that said, what you say in his heart. Our Lord says,
they aren't hard. His commandments are not grievous.
They said, these are hard sayings. And what makes them hard to some
people is because their hearts are hard. Because it's their
heart. It's not the word that's hard,
it's the heart that's hard. And that's what our Lord says
just makes manifest that the man has a hard heart. And multitudes
of his followers that was following this day were sick and lame and
had been healed. But now they began to change.
Why? Why did they do it? Why did they start to change?
Well, because our Lord, they saw His miracles and they followed
Him for His miracles, said John 2, 23. Multitude followed Him
because they wanted healing and they wanted miracles. And they
talked about what just yesterday, and I say just yesterday, they
ate all this miraculous food. And our Lord Jesus may have set
down 5,000 men and women, and set down with five fishes and
two loaves of bread and filled that 5,000 people. And they were
so impressed by his miracles that they declared, back over
here in verse 14 and 15, look what they declared about it.
John 6, 14 and 15. They said, these men, when they
had seen the miracles that Jesus did, said, this is the truth,
that prophet that should come into the world. They didn't say
the Savior, they didn't say the Messiah, that prophet. And look
what they was even going to make him a king, because they delighted
so in his miracles. And when Jesus therefore perceived
that they would come and take him by force to make him a king,
he departed himself again along into a mountain. So you see,
they were ready to crown him king. And now, they said, this
is a hard thing. Want to make him a king one day?
And said, this is a hard saying, the next day and a moment you
turn and walk with him no more. What in the world happened between
that time? Huh? What were these things so hard
that our Lord Jesus said here in verse 61, I believe it's verse
61, where he says, yeah, when Jesus knew himself the thing,
he murmured at it, he said, it's a thing, you stumble at this.
What were these sayings so hard that they offended them and they
decided they would not walk with Him no more? I'll tell you what
these hard sayings were. And our Lord was so honest and
He had no compromise. He could not fail. And the first
thing He did, He exposed their false motives, their love for
materialism. Look in verse 25 with me. We're
just going to go down through here verse by verse and see what
these sayings was that our Savior said that these fellows said,
We can't follow you. We can't be your disciples. And
when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto
him, Rabbi, how did you come here? When did you come here?
And all beloved, I'll tell you why. And they went to great trouble
to find him. They went all the way around
the sea. Some of them got in boats and came across the sea.
And they said, how did you get from there to here? Well, I'll
tell you how he got there. He walked over the water to get
from here to there. That's how he got there. But they asked
him, how did you get there? How did you get across the lake?
And then instead of telling him how he got there, you know what
he said? He said, I'm going to tell you the truth about yourselves.
I'm going to tell you, and that's what verily, verily means, truly,
truly, I'm going to tell you the truth about something about
you. You seek me, not because you see the miracles, but because
you did even the lows and were filled. You want your belly filled. You want your materiality, and
he went on to say, labor not for the meat that perishes. You
see, these fellas, he knew the reason they pursued him. They
knew the reason they came after him. Not because of the miracles,
not because of the signs, but because they wanted their bellies
filled. They worried what he could do
for them, what he could give them materially. And our Lord
was bold. He didn't pull any punches. He
looked them straight in the face. And these are thousands of people
standing there saying, you go to great, great lengths to find
me. Not because you want me. Not because you are a sinner.
Not because you are helpless. You sought me because of what
I can give you and what you want for your body. You see. You don't want the truth I treat.
You don't want who I am. It's the power that I have to
fulfill your fleshly needs and ambitions, and you're asking
me only so you can get that out of me. And what he's saying is
your motives are false, your materialism is despicable, and
I know that it is. I know that it is. You see, these
people, they came to Christ, not because they had any concern
for the soul. Not because they wanted a relationship
with God. They were interested in His earthly
kingdom to make Him a king, and for their earthly comforts. Oh
my, He'll feed us wherever we go. He'll take care of us. He'll
take care of us. That's all they was interested
in. Look over at John 2.23, just a minute. And oh, I tell you, John 2.23 John 2.23 if you don't
hear me just holler out now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover
in the feast day listen to this now many believed in his name
when they saw the miracles which he did but Jesus did not commit
himself unto them because he knew all men he knew Why? They believed, they knew why
they were believing on His name and He didn't need anybody to
testify of man. He didn't need anybody to tell
Him what somebody needed, what somebody done, what somebody
wanted, what somebody asked for, what somebody was, what somebody
was doing. He didn't need anybody to say anything about a man.
Because you know why? He knows every man just exactly the way
He is. And so back over in our text, look what He said here,
then again in verse 27. He said, labor not for that meat
which perishes. Labor here means intense desire,
earnest desire, an effort toward obtaining that which is of great
and eternal value. And our Lord, they were talking
about He was the bread of life, the salvation of your soul. And
they said, don't labor for that. And He says, don't labor, but
you labor for that mean, which endureth unto everlasting life.
Have an intense desire for that mean that will endure unto everlasting
life, which the Son of Man shall give you. A man is a fool. I'm telling you, and I know this
because I've been there myself. A man is a fool. who is over-concerned
about earthly treasures and earthly comfort, and will perish. For
the kingdom of God is not in meat and drink, but in righteousness
and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost." And he said, labor for
that meat that endureth. How long will it endure unto
everlasting life? That's how long it will endure.
And I tell you, salvation is not a labor or a work. What did
our Lord say? Which the Son of Man shall give
unto you. Eternal life is a gift. Salvation is a gift, which the
Son of Man shall give unto you. Him hath God the Father sent.
And then look what they said. They said unto him, what shall
we do that we might work the works of God? See, they still
wanted to work. And he just got through telling
them not to labor. And then they said, well, what
are we going to do then? What are we going to do to do the works
of God? And our Lord said, this is the work of God, that you
believe on Him whom He sent. And our Lord said, I give you
this meat, and my Father gives you to believe. It's the work
of God that you believe. And I tell you what, those who
enter in will do it willingly and sincerely. Those who receive
the Son, they do it in loving faith. Those who win Christ,
they do it in earnest dedication and full commitment. Those who find Christ, they seek
Him. Those who are saved, call upon
Him. And those who enter in, strive to do so. It's always,
always, always, always labored for that meat that endures. Always
seeking, always calling, always trusting. And yet he gave it
to us and yet we're still laboring. And that's not what you hear
today. That's what our Lord said. That's not what we want to hear.
That's why they said this is a hard saying. To tell us that
our motives are wrong and our goals are false. Well, this is
a hard saying. We'll just quit. That's what
they said. I'll tell you something else
that offended them. It's a hard saying. Look down in verse 36
with me just a minute. But I say unto you that you have
also seen me, and believe not. You see, as our Lord faces their
unbelief, he tells them why they are unbelievers and encourages
himself in the 12th in God's sovereign election. He said,
I say unto you that you have also seen me, and yet you don't
believe. Still talking to the same bunch.
Know that the Father giveth me, shall come to me. And him that
cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. And I'll tell you why. He said he's encouraging himself
and his saints, his twelve, in God's sovereign election. He
said, Oh, let the Father give me. You see me and you don't
believe. But that ain't going to keep
God from saving his people. That ain't going to keep God
and me from doing my labor and doing my work. Oh, let the Father
give me, given in the eternal covenant of grace. And he says,
shall come to me. They'll come, and I tell you
what, we come. We come, you come as a lost sinner to be saved.
Come as a sin sick soul to be healed. Come in as empty vessel
to be filled, as a beggar asking for bread. And look what he went
on to say, all that the Father giveth me, all mine. And I tell
you, the Father gave Christ to people. And I, listen, do you
want to be one of the Lord's people? Do you really want to
be one of the Lord's people? You think God gave you to Christ? Do you think God gave you to
Christ? I believe He gave, I believe
God gave me to Christ. How do I, why do you believe
that? Because I come to Him. I come to Him. And I've done
ten thousand things to cause Him to cast me out, but He ain't
cast me out yet. If you come to Him, that's the
only way in the world you can know that you've been given.
If I give Him that the Father gives me, what is He going to
do? He shall come to me. Have you come? Have you come?
And look what he goes on to say here. And he says in verse... Well, we're not out here. I came down from heaven. All
the Father gave me shall come to me. And then I came down from
heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent
me. You see, he said, mine and my Father's will are one. He
said, My will and My Father's will are one and the same. For
Him and the Father are one. He said, You know, I am My Father's
righteous son. I came down to do My Father's
will and whatever His will is, is My will. And look what He
said His will is here. Look what He said His will is.
And He said in verse 39, And this is the Father's will, which I sent Me. He sent Him.
God in His everlasting covenant of grace sent the Son. Sent Him. Sent Him to do what? To be our
representative before God. To be our representative. To be our surety. To take our
debts. To take our responsibility. To
be the shepherd of the sheep. To lay down His life for the
sheep. To be our substitute. To bear our sins in His own body
on the tree. To be our sacrifice. To put away
our sin once and all by His sacrifice of Himself. And look what He
goes on to say. And this is the Father's will which hath sent
me, and he sent him, of all which he hath given me. Now see, he
said, you know, they gave unto him, and I want you to notice
this, he hath given me. Everything God does is in the
past tense. They give me, and he said, he
hath given them to me. He gave them to him, and he hath
given everyone that he gave to me. And I tell you what, beloved,
all that He gives, all that by God's sovereign will has been
chosen, who have been redeemed by the Son, all who are called
by the Spirit, He said, I'll not lose a one of them. Not a
one of them. Not a one of them. And look what
He said, and I'll raise it up again at the last day. That's
what He was talking about, singing about. I'm not home yet. I'll
at the end of time, at the beginning of eternity, I'll raise them
up from the grave. I'll raise them up from where
they're at. I'll raise them up wherever they
are. All that the Father gives me. He said, I'll raise them
up. And look what he says this, and he said in verse 40, And
this is the will of him that sent me. And he talked about
him and his Father's will is the same. What is the Father's
will then? That sent me that everyone which sees the Son. Now who's going to see the Son?
Those that the Father gave Him. Those that He gave eternal life
to. Those that the Father gave Him, that He'll never lose anything.
Everyone will see it's the Son. And I tell you what, who's going
to see the Son? All that the Father gave Him. All that He
gave eternal life to. All that were chosen, all that
the Father gave. They're everyone going to see
the Son. They're going to see the Son. and believe him, not
only going to see him, but they going to believe on him. Ain't
that what it says there? They going to believe on him.
And have everlasting life. And again, I'll raise them up
at the last days. Now watch what happens. These
harsh sayings. They murmured. The Jews then
murmured at him. Murmured at him. Because he said,
I am the bread which came down from heaven. I am the bread which
came down from heaven. And they began to murmur. They
murmured. And you mean to tell us that
we don't have the power or the strength to choose you? To choose
Jesus? And when they sat here, they
murmured. And that being that word murmuring means complaining
through anger, unbelief, impatience against what they saw and heard.
And look what it said in verse 42. 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's murmuring because of his claims. They knew
nothing about who he is, or how he came into this world through
a virgin birth, that he was the son of David, that he was the
son of God. All they said, this is Jesus. This is Joseph's son.
This is Jesus. So what in the world is he talking
about? They murmured about him. And then look what happens. Our
Lord exposes the depth and extent of the inability and depravity
of every man on the planet. Look what He says now. And our
Lord says, don't murmur among yourselves. Just don't do it. It ain't going to change nothing. It ain't going to change my will. It ain't going to change the
Father's will. It ain't going to change how a man is saved. And He says, why do you murmur?
He says, no man. can come unto me except the father
which sent me draw him and I'll raise him three times he said
I'll raise him up at the last day no man regardless of his
intellect regardless of his ancestry regardless of his environment
and regardless of his race his creed or his color and he says
no man can come unto me And that word can has to do with ability. Now if he says, no man may come
to me, then you may say, well, may I come? But that word can
has ability. It's like he asked the other
day if he could sing, and I said, well, can you? Do you have the
ability? And if he says, may I? I said,
well, you may. See, may has to do with permission.
Can has to do with ability. And can, and I tell you when
you're talking about a bill, our Lord says you cannot do it.
You can't. And men would understand that
if every preacher in this county started preaching the same thing,
you would see the awfulest uproar in this county there ever was.
Every church would be split and everybody would be fussing and
fighting. If every preacher got up and told them just exactly
what our Lord says, no man can come under me. You don't have the ability to
come. You don't have the will to come. You don't have the power
to come. No man. That's why they said this is
a hard saying. What about my will? What about me being a Jew? What about me being a son of
Abraham? What about me being a Baptist? What about my daddy
being a preacher? And all mine. He went on to say
here's no man. No man. You don't have the will to come
and look what he says No man can come to me to me Believe
me trust me and here's what he said Except except The father
which sent me draw him Quickly call him to life and look what
our Lord goes on to say It's written in the prophets He just
landed on the line. It's written in the prophets.
They shall be all taught of God. It's written. Those who come
to Christ don't come blindly and they don't come angry. I've never understood and maybe
somebody teach me this one of these days. I've never understood
why preachers can get a person in a service just one time or
two times and try their best to get a profession out of them.
When they don't know anything about Christ. When they don't
know anything about sin. And that's why we tell folks
to just stay and you listen. You be still and you listen.
Because no man can come to Christ. Men don't come to Christ blindly
and they don't come to Christ ignorantly. What does it say?
They shall all be taught of God. They shall all be taught of God.
How are they going to be taught of God? They're going to be taught
by the Holy Spirit. They're going to be taught through
the Word. They're going to be taught by preachers of the Gospel.
They're going to be taught by revelation from Heaven. And then
look what it says here. Every man therefore that hath
heard. Heard what? The truth. The Gospel. What God
taught them. And let me show you something
here. Three verses reveal something about grace. Back up there, the
design of grace, he says, except the Father who sent me draw.
That's the design of grace, is to draw God's people to Him. The means of grace, they're taught
of God. God's got to teach it. And listen,
if all, and I've heard all of my men say this, if all the voice
you ever hear is mine, You're none the better. But if you hear
God's voice through my voice, through the Word, through God's
Spirit, then you have some pride. And then so it's a means of grace
to be taught of God. And the results of grace, every
man therefore that hath learned of the Father, what happens to
him? He comes to me. That's the results of grace. The sign of grace is going to
draw you. The means of grace is going to teach you. The results
of being teached are going to come to me. And I tell you this,
I love this, and I'm thankful for this. Oh, I'm so thankful
that the results of our Lord's living and dying and rising again
The results of everything that he did in this world, in his
resurrection where he sits right now, is not in human hands, but
in God's sovereign will. If it was left in men's hands,
there wouldn't be a soul saved on the topside of this earth.
Not one. Not one. And ah, this is humbling. This is humiliating for proud
human nature. No wonder they said this is a
hard saying. Tell them that a multitude, you
can't accept me. You can't accept me. And look
what else he told him. He said salvation is by a living
union with him by faith. You got salvation by being joined
to me and knowing me. Look what he says now. Verse
48. I am that bread of life. I am. I am. You see, salvation is not
a work we do, but God does for us and in us. Your fathers did
eat manna in the wilderness and are dead. And this is one of
the I am's that he says. Seven I am's that he says in
the scriptures. I am the bread of life. He's
the great I am. This is his deity. This is the bread
of life. He said he was that true bread which comes down from
heaven. Not that perishing manna by which men died. And that's
what he says, your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness and
are dead. He said this is that bread which cometh down from
heaven, a man may eat there and not die. You know, the manna
was a type of our Lord Jesus Christ. The manna had no power
or saving benefit to it. It didn't have the ability to
maintain physical life, much less spiritual life. And what
our Lord is saying is that that tithe and shatter is fulfilled
now. That was the bread in the wilderness,
and then I'm the bread that really came down from heaven. God sent
you that manna, but God sent me. They eat that manna and they
perish. You eat me and you'll live. You be joined to me and you'll
live. You be united to me and you'll
live. Ain't that what He's saying? This is that bread. If a man
eat thereof, He'll not die. And he said in verse 51, I am
the living bread. Living bread. Right now, our
Lord Jesus Christ is the living bread. Living bread. I don't understand that. I can't
explain it. But he said, I'm living bread.
I've never seen living bread. And bread that's made has to
be ground, the wheat, the corn, the rye, the whatever it is,
has to be ground, ground, ground, ground, ground, the powder. And
then put back together with certain things. But I know this. He said,
I'm the living bread. And if I'm living bread and you
eat me, then you have life in you. Yes, I'm in you and you're
in me. You can eat me, whatever you
take into me. I'm the living bread. He is life.
He ever lives and He gives life to dead sinners. And look what
He goes on to say. He says, And the bread that I
will give you is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the
world. And what He's talking is, is I'm going to offer My
body, My body, My body, My flesh, to offer it as a sacrifice for
sin. And only in a crucified Christ
can we find redemption and can we find life. And then look what
he said, and I give myself, my life, will give my life for the
world. I give my, I will give, I will, I give my flesh which
I will give for the life of the world. When he says he gives
himself for the life of the world, now what world is he talking
about? Can't be talking about everybody. He's talking about
from every kindred nation and time in this world. And oh my,
these Jews like Nicodemus, they tried to interpret spiritual
things in a carnal sense just like he did. Look what he said
in verse 52. The Jews therefore strove among
themselves. They got together just to, oh
my, what is he talking about? You know, they went to Canaan.
How can this man give us his flesh to eat? How can it happen? Well, we don't literally, look
down at verse 53, we don't literally eat his flesh and drink his blood.
But by faith we live in him, by him, and because of him. And
we do it daily, and we have no life apart from him. Then Jesus
said of him, truly, truly, or verily, verily, I say unto you,
except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood,
you have no life in you. What does that mean? That means
that you've got to take me. You've got to take me into yourself.
Now he's not talking about cannibalism here. He's talking about whoso
eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life and
I'll raise him up. And he talked about himself being
that bread that had to be broken, that wine that had to be drinking,
which was his blood. And he's talking about that as
I lived on this earth, and as my life was laid down, and as
I lived, every part of me, everything that I did, you got to partake
of that. You got to partake of everything
I did in my flesh. You got to take of my blood.
You got to take it. And it's got to be part and parcel
of you. And that's the only way that
you can have life. And oh, that's what he stopped
talking about. And that's why he went on to
say, for my flesh is meat indeed, and boy it is, and my blood is
drink indeed. Drink indeed. And I tell you,
I tell you, people give reasons for not eating. And he went on
down to say, here you know, this thing said he in the synagogue,
in verse 59, as he taught in Capernaum. Men give reasons for
not eating, or excuses for not eating. Do you ever forget to eat during
the day? Surely you wouldn't forget to
eat on Christ, would you? Too busy, not where the food
is sick, can't afford to buy food, food not good enough, not
garnished right, don't like the food. And these fellows gave
a thousand reasons why they didn't want Christ. But how did our
Lord react to this? The average preacher would have
just, oh, they'd had a nervous breakdown. If half of you all got up here
and left right now, boy, I don't know what I'd do. If all of you left at 12, what
would I do? That's what happened here. There's
thousands following. Look what happens now. And it
said again in verse 60, many of our four or five disciples,
when they heard this, said, this is a hard saying. I just, I can't get it. I can't
get it. It's a hard saying. He said, who can hear it? They
said, who can believe it? Who can rejoice in it? Who can
understand it? Who can delight in it? And our Lord, here's how He reacted
to it. When Jesus knew in Himself that
His disciples murmured at Him, He said, and to disoffend you,
He said, I'm going to tell you something else now. If you think
you can offend Him now, listen to what I'm going to tell you.
What if you shall see the Son of Man ascend up where He was
before? What if you do that? You don't
want nothing to do with me here, what are you going to do with
me when I go back to glory? When I'm up there with all power
in heaven and earth, and it's up, you know, what are you going
to do? If you don't have nothing to do with me here, what are
you going to do with me when I go up there? It is the Spirit that quickens.
The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit and they are life. And then he went, look
what he says to them. Look what he says. 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.
Oh, he knew. He knew. And then look
what happens. And he said, therefore, said
I unto you that no, and he went right back to where he started,
and therefore I said unto you that no man can come unto me
except you were given unto him of my father. You know the why
reason you're not coming? The reason you turned away? My
father didn't give it to you. My father didn't give you the
ability. My father didn't give you the will. My father didn't
give you the power. From that time many of his disciples
went back and walked no more with him. Oh my! He chose twelve and one of them
was the devil. And he took those twelve men after he called Paul
and turned the world upside down for twelve men. And their response
was, then Jesus said unto the twelve, will you also go away?
Are you going to go away? Were you going to go away too?
Is that what you're going to do? You're going to leave too?
Are you going to leave? And they said, Oh Lord, no, no. Lord, to whom shall we go? Let
all the rest of them go. To whom shall we go? You have
the words, and that's what our Lord said, if I speak unto you,
The words that I speak unto you, they're spirit and they're life.
And he said, Lord, you've got the words of eternal life. And
this is where we're at. And I believe everybody in here,
that's a believer, can say this. And we believe and are sure that
thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. I believe that. How did our Lord
react? He said, I told you I chose twelve
of you and one of you is the devil. And I tell you what, it's your
response. When you hear these hard sayings about God's sovereignty,
about materialism, about wanting Christ for not
who He is but what He can do for you, hear about His sovereign
election, You know, all the Father has given me is going to come
to me. Him that is coming to me, I'm not cast out. It's the
Father's will, the sin that He has given me, I should raise
Him up at the last day. When you hear these things, they
don't offend you, do they? They don't offend you. You don't stumble over them,
do you? The Lord's people don't. I know they don't. I never saw
a hard saying in anything our Lord said, did you? All the things
He told those people, I never heard a hard saying in it. You
know who it's hard for? People who don't believe it.
People who don't want it. People who find no salvation
in it. That's all the people it's hard for. That's all the
people it's hard for. It's not hard for me. Never bothered
me when he said, you know, you're seeking me for just the meat
that I gave you. That's not what I'm seeking him
for. Are you? Alright. Our Father, in the blessed name
of the Lord Jesus Christ, we bless you for the day, the day
of grace, the day of mercy, the day of strength, the day of help,
the day of hope that you gave us. Thank you for the gospel. Thank you for the saints of God
gathering to hear the gospel. And our Father, we know that
the results of the message The results of what's said and what's
done is in your hands to do with what seemeth good in your sight.
You can hide it or you can reveal it. You can make it known or
you can veil the eyes. Lord, it's in your hands to do
with us in this congregation and ever so as it pleases you. You can open a heart or you can
leave it closed. You can give ears to hear Or
you can leave a man deaf. You can take a stony heart of
a man and put in a heart of flesh, or you can leave that heart of
stone in that. Lord Jesus, we're in your hands.
Everybody in this building is in your hands. Everybody we preach
to and witness to is in your hands. And we know, we know,
we know, we know, and are sure that thou art the Christ, the
Son of the living God, and that you will do your Father's
will, and you'll give life to everyone the Father gave you,
and we find rest there, and peace there, and comfort there. We
bless you in Christ's name. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Lord, for saving my
soul. Thank you, Lord, for making me
whole. Thank you, Lord, for giving to
me Thy great salvation, so rich and free. Before you go, the ladies always
