Where I Am Going, You Cannot Come
“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.”
John 8:21 (KJV)
Commentary on John 8:21
Jesus warns that He will go away (to the cross, resurrection, and ascension) and they will seek Him but die in their sins. The tragedy of dying in sin rather than in Christ defines eternal destinies. Where Jesus goes (to the Father), they cannot come without faith. This demonstrates the urgency of believing while Christ is present - there are no second chances after death.
