John 8:21

John 8:21 says, Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. Jesus was again explaining His unique nature.  He said He would go on His way, and that they seek Him and die in their sins: and that where He went they could not come.  From the beginning of His ministry, Jesus let people know He wouldn't be in this world long.  Of course, Jesus was speaking of dying on the cross for the sins of mankind, and this is certainly something no one else can ever do.  Fortunately for us, He promised when He left, He would send a Comforter to be with us until His return.  Verse twenty-two adds, Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.  He warned them that they would die in their sins because they refused to accept Him as the Messiah.  If a person today dies in their sins, it is their own choice, as it has always been. The people, the religious leaders in particular, asked if Jesus was going to kill Himself, since He said where He went, they could not come.  It is sad when God's people so utterly fail to recognize what He is saying.  Verse twenty-three continues. And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.   Jesus said that they were from below and He was from above and that they were of this world, and He was not.  Again, He was telling them that He was the Messiah.  There are things we will never understand in this life, but that Jesus is the only way to salvation is one that we must.  Verse twenty-four states, I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.  Jesus said since they didn’t believe in Him, they would die in their sins, and so will anyone who doesn’t accept Him as their Savior and Lord.  Verse twenty-five adds, Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.   They asked Jesus again Who He was, and He said the same as He said from the beginning.  His testimony never changed then, nor has it since. Verse twenty-six continues, I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.  Jesus said that He had many things to say and judge of them, but He Who sent Him was true.  Jesus said He spoke to the world those things He had heard from the Father.  When we speak the things of God, we can be sure they are true, whether the world accepts them or not.
