The Drawing of the Father
R. Besser, D. D., Theophylact. John 6:41-51 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.… Man is like a waggon sunk in the mire under a heavy load, and Divine love is the strong team which draws it up and draws it forward. (R. Besser, D. D.)Just as the magnet does not attract everything, but only iron, so there must be in man a disposedness of heart, before God's drawing can take hold of him. (Theophylact.) Parallel Verses KJV: The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. WEB: The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven."
