John 6:37

All. Gr. pan, an adjective in the neuter gender, and thus to be understood in the broadest sense. Jesus here expressed the truth that all things, His power and authority, His daily bread, His followers, were given Him by His Father. He declared, “I can of mine own self do nothing” (ch. 5:30; see on ch. 6:11). This verse is not to be taken as indicating that God has selected certain persons for salvation, and that they inevitably will come to Christ and be saved (see on v. 40). It is rather a declaration in the broadest terms of the relationship of Jesus to the Father, a relationship of complete surrender, utter dependence, and entire confidence that all that God willed for Him would surely be fulfilled.

Him that cometh. The second clause of this verse is a specific application of the general truth stated in the first clause. Only in God’s love is grace provided by which the sinner may come to Jesus, and through Him, to the Father.

In no wise cast out. An example of the figure of speech known as litotes, an understatement designed to give emphasis. Thus Jesus meant that He heartily welcomes the one who comes to Him.
