John 6:41

John 6:41 says, The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.  When the Jews heard that Jesus said He was the bread of life come down from heaven, they murmured amongst themselves.  People today are still murmuring among themselves about Who Jesus was and is.  Verse forty-two adds, 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?  The Jews were too familiar with the human Jesus to recognize that He was also, not Joseph's Son by birth, but the Son of God. We will always find people murmuring about Jesus as long as they see Him as anything less than the only begotten Son of God.  Verse forty-three continues, Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.  Jesus told them not to murmur.  If they had questions about His claim, He was standing there.  When we have questions about Jesus, we need to go to Him in prayer for the answers. There is no use in looking to the world for answers.  Verse forty-four declares, 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.  Jesus said no man cometh unto Him unless the Father draw him, and He would raise him up the last day.  Again, we could see this as the preordination of some, but we know that the Father draws all people to Jesus.  He will keep us once we are His by faith in His gift of salvation.  This had been foretold by the prophets.  Verse forty-five adds, It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.  Jesus reminded them of this, and then said, "And they shall be taught of God.  Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me."  The Jews should certainly be familiar with the prophets, and should have learned from the Father, but they didn't come to Him.  The church nor the Bible nor an acknowledgement that Jesus lived will save us.  It is only when the Father draws us to Him and we respond by placing our faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord will we be saved.
