Joh 12:32 "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself."
A young man approached an evangelist and said: "If it is true that Christ would really draw men all to Himself then why is it that there are men and women today who are not effectively drawn to Him? Why are there people, thousands of them, who are not drawn to Christ?"
"Do you believe in gravity?" the preacher asked.
"Well, of course, I do!" replied the young man.
"What is gravity?" the preacher probed.
"Well, according to some people, gravity is an invisible force which draws all matter to the center of the earth," said the young man.
The evangelist then looked up and pointed to the chandelier lights of the church building they were in and said: "If what you say is true then why is it that those lights up there do not fall to the ground?"
"It's simple sir, they are fastened to the ceiling by a rod," the young man answered.
And so, you see, the Lord Jesus Christ draws all men to Himself but God, in His sovereignty, allowed man to resist Him, and thus, they can resist Him if they will.
My friend, the Lord Jesus Christ is drawing you to Himself right now, without His drawing, you can never come to Him. His drawing in the spiritual realm is as real as gravity in the physical realm. Would you be drawn to Him now and come to Him in repentance and faith; trusting in what He did for you on the cross for your salvation? Or would you hold on to your sin?
