Joh 6:61-64 Awarethat his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you? Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he wasbefore! The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. Thewords I have spoken to you--they are full of the Spirit and life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe."
The human nature ofChrist had not before been in heaven, but being God and man, that wondrous
Person was truly said to have come down from heaven. The Messiah's kingdom wasnot of this
world; and they were to understand by faith, what he had said of aspiritual living upon him, and his
fulness. As without the soul of man theflesh is of no value, so without the quickening Spirit of God
all forms ofreligion are dead and worthless. He who made this provision for our souls,alone can
teach us these things, and draw us unto Christ, that we may live byfaith in him. Let us apply to
Christ, thankful that it is declared that everyone who is willing to come unto him shall be made
welcome. (Matthew Henry)
