If men are so very unwilling to come to Jesus and be saved, Jesus is not as they are; He is willing. Rather, these words: “You are unwilling to come to Me that you may have life”, have implied in them, Christ’s sincere desire that sinners might truly awake to their need of His righteousness and His delivering them from their sins. I believe that if we will look closely, we will discover the willingness of Jesus to reveal Himself savingly even to these wicked men who wanted to kill Him; that is how great the love of Christ is. There are 3 indications of Jesus’ willingness to save which are found in this passage. 1st of all – The willingness of Jesus to save sinners is seen in the works that His Father sent Him to do. 2nd – The willingness of Jesus to save is seen in His telling them to believe in the Father’s witness to Him. And 3rd – The willingness of Jesus to save is seen in His telling people where their real problem lies. Let us learn from our Lord how to better present Him to fallen people around us. Let us ask ourselves whether we are willing to help, and to minister to the most needy of people, and the vilest of sinners.
