John 6:46-48 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Not that any man hath seen the Father,— "When I speak of men's hearing and learning of God, I donot mean that they can see the Deity personally, and be taught of him in the manner that a scholar is taught of his master. No man hath seen the Father personally, except the Son, whom the Father hath sent and whose peculiar privilege it is to have been eternally a full partaker of all the Father's councils. In virtue, therefore, of my intimate union with the Father, and my perfect knowledge of his will, I testify it as a most sure and important truth, that this is the only method of salvation, and that it is he, and he alone, who believes in me, and faithfully reposes himself on me, that hath everlasting life, (John 6:47.) Remember, therefore, that it is in this respect I tell you, I am the bread of life; not only as a teacher of truth, and a messenger from God to men, but as the just Redeemer whom you must receive into your hearts, and onwhom you must as it were feed by faith, if you would indeed have your spiritual life to be supported and secured." Thus our Lord explained the nature of the dignity which he had assumed to himself in the foregoing part of his discourse, John 6:33; John 6:35; John 6:40 and demonstrated that it really belonged to him.
