John 6:35-59 – 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 – 0869A
Description
Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0869A recorded on March 25, 1984 teaching from John 6:35-59 – 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.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens emphasizes the profound obligation humans have toward God, stemming from Christ’s sacrifice, which the sermon connects to the Greek meaning of the word “draw” in John 6:44 . Stevens argues that the core human experience of hunger and thirst—a deep dissatisfaction and void—can only be satisfied by Jesus, who is the Bread of Life. He contrasts humanity’s prideful desire to avoid being obligated to anyone with the spiritual necessity of recognizing one’s need for God, asserting that those who consider themselves righteous have no need for salvation. The ultimate purpose is for believers to assimilate Christ, becoming one with him to fill the spiritual hunger and receive the new life that prevents eternal death, just as physical bread sustains life.
