One thief on the cross let Him, and the other ridiculed Him.
To the one who let Him, he said "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."
I didn't realize it at the time, but I needed saving from being a fundamentalist Christian because it was destroying me. God dragged me out of it in spite of my lack of awareness. Hallelujah!

I believe what Jesus the Christ said regarding His drawing power. "And if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all mankind unto Me"
draw=
"I will draw all mankind unto Myself"
The primary definition of the word 'draw' in Greek "helkuo" is to literally draw, drag off forcefully, impel, pull with power.
So
We may be impelled, we may be dragged off forcefully, (kicking and screaming perhaps), or pulled by His power; but He draws all mankind unto Himself!
