Commentary on John 5:40
'And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.' The problem isn't intellectual but volitional—'ye will not come.' Scripture points to Christ; they won't follow the pointer. The life they seek through study is found in Him; they refuse to come. Unbelief is not inability but unwillingness. The evidence is sufficient; the will resists. This explains why religious experts reject Christ—their will, not their mind, is the obstacle.
