John 8:21
Jesus Warns of Coming Judgment In this section, Jesus warns the people that he will soon depart, and that those who do not believe in him will die in their sins. He explains that he is from above and they are from below, and that true life is found only in him. Jesus also predicts his crucifixion and shows that those who reject him cannot come where he is going. Many do not understand his words, but some come to believe in him as he speaks about his relationship with the Father. v. 21: Jesus tells the people, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come” (John 8:21 a). He warns them that if they do not believe in him, they will be separated from him forever and will not be able to join him in heaven. This is a serious warning about the consequences of rejecting Jesus.
