Excerpt from A Sermon: On the Salvation of Sinners "This is an hard saying; who can hear it!" - John, vi.: 60 In the context is an account of a doctrine, which was preached by the Lord Jesus Christ: and which greatly offended a large number of his professed disciples. By this doctrine they were so offended, that they said, "This is an hard saying; who can hear it?" Well may it be asked, What was the doctrine, which Christ taught? and which was so offensive to his hearers? An answer to these questions may be obtained from the context. Jesus had said to his hearers, "Labor not for them at, which perisheth; but for that meat, which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man shall give unto you; for him hath God, the Father, sealed. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them. This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." In these words the Saviour taught the doctrine, which offended so many of his professed disciples. He taught the great doctrine of salvation, through faith in his name. The truth on this subject he repeated and enforced, in our context. He said, "This is the will of him, that sent me; that every one, who secth the Son and believeth on him, may have everlasting life." Again he said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he, that believeth on me, hath everlasting life, I am that bread of life." He also said. "This is the bread, that cometh down from heaven; that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread, which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever. And the bread, that I shall give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." Again the Saviour said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in you." In this last sentence the Saviour has reference to the sacrifice of himself, in which his body was broken and his blood was shed on the cross for the salvation of sinners. The instructions which the Lord Jesus Christ gave to his hearers in the preceding quotations, teach us, that sinners must rely on his atoning sacrifice for the life of their souls, as really as men rely on their food for the life of their bodies.
