Is Jesus Driving People Out of the Kingdom?

When Jesus witnesses in John 6, it seems like he is dividing the crops more than just harvesting everything. He takes more of  a combine approach, throwing the trash back in the field. He's separating the quick and the dead.

Also, Jesus doesn't make excuses for God or try to persuade, like I feel the urge to do. He just lays out the facts and gives people the freedom to decide for themselves. Its actually a lot more mature approach than I take.

It seems more like Jesus is trying to drive people away than bring them in. What do you think?
