John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

Lesson Notes:
(John 6:37) – “All that the Father giveth…” Without understanding the word usage, the
passage, especially in the English could imply that God makes selections from humanity and
gives them to the son. The word used here is “pas” and in the Greek language the word is very
broad with the intent of being all inclusive and not selective. The broad use of the word
includes all forms of life, in a declining order, until the whole is captured.
The need for life is represented in many types and conditions throughout humanity. The son of
God gives access to life to all without prejudice. Unlike forms of religion there are no restrictive
conditions. No one that comes to the son of God will be turned or cast away.

John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the
will of him that sent me.

John 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which
he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the
last day.
John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone which
seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will
raise him up at the last day.

Lesson Notes:

(John 6:38-40) – The son of man came from Heaven, again this is an affirmation His superiority
to the terrestrial world. He did not come to His will but to fulfill the will of God. The word
became flesh to fulfill the will of God. The will of God ensures that the son of man will lose
nothing from “all” types, forms, and conditions of humanity that are given to Him. Death will
not stand in the way of eternal life. Every soul that is saved and physically dies in the present
world will be resurrected in the world to come.
The Messiah’s use of the term “last day” is captured only in John’s Gospel. Taken from the
Greek word: “eschatos”, which means final, as in place or time, the theological term
eschatology has developed. Eschatology is the study of death, judgement of humanity, and the
final destination of the soul.

While men are pre-occupied with sustaining life in the terrestrial world the son of man
introduces a matter of greater concern; the eternal destiny of the soul. The elements of the
present world will not sustain life in the world to come. The son of man is the living bread, in
Him is life. To have life in the world to come men requires consuming the bread of life in the
present world.

Every man will face their last day in the present world and then they must face the “eschatos”,
the final day of reckoning when souls are transitioned into eternity. (Rev. 20:12-15)
