What's the Draw?
“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.” (John 6:44-45)
John 6:44 is a great study in the importance of context. Jesus makes it clear that the only way someone comes to Jesus is if God draws the person toward Jesus… but verse 44 doesn’t explain how the Father draws people to Jesus. In order to understand how He draws people to Jesus, you need to go to the next verse. God draws by teaching.
The teachings of the Scriptures are God’s draw. When we are taught by the Word, we are drawn to Jesus, the Word. The Bible is the system God has chosen to draw all men to His Son. We cannot come to the Son without being taught.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
