I. THE EXPRESSION. "All that the Father," etc.

1. Number. Who can measure the amplitude of "all"?

2. Definiteness. Not one more or less.

3. Relation. The Father sends His Son to men and men to His Son. The conditions of this relation are the Incarnation and Atonement on the part of Christ; coming or believing on the part of men.

4. Donation. This was mediatorial.

5. Value. What must be the worth of that which the Father could give and Christ accept?

II. THE PROMISE. "Shall come unto Me."

1. The certainty. "He shall see of the travail of His soul."

2. The act.

(1)  Externally, they shall be brought in the providence of God under the means of grace.

(2)  Spiritually. If you have come to Christ you have entered into the meaning of four words — conviction of sin, the suitableness of Christ, venturing on Christ, continual coming to Christ.

III. THE ENCOURAGEMENT. "I will in no wise cast out."

1. Personality. "Him." Sin is personal, so must salvation be.

2. Extent. Christianity is the only universal religion; it can take root everywhere because it makes its offer to everybody.

3. The removal of doubts.

(1) On the part of sinners.

(a)  When they have been called late in life; but remember the dying thief.

(b)  Sin suggests doubts. It is not what you have been, but what you are willing to be.

(c)  Unworthiness and infirmity create doubts.

(d)  Doubts arise from ignorance. All these are removed by the invitation.

(2) On the part of saints.

(a)  Many feel a sense of inward corruption.

(b)  Others are conscious of stupidity and perverseness.

(c)  Lowness of attainment suggests doubts; and

(d)  Remaining guilt and imperfection. But what are these in the light of the promise, "Him that," etc.?

(Dr. Andrews.)
