Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also. And he will come again, beloved. That is our grandest hope. We are looking for his coming. It is very sweet to know that we shall be for ever with the Lord if we die before his coming; but still the hope of God’s people...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Do not tell us about a purgatory for Christ’s people, a limbo in which they are to be awhile to be prepared to share his glory. No, he will come at the right time, and take them to be where he is, and they shall have the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. “I will come to you by my Spirit. I will come to you by-and-by, if my Father shall purpose it, in the hour of death; or if not, I will come in person at my second advent; but, in any case, I will be sure to come. My dear...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; “I will not send an angel to fetch you, but I will myself come for you. If you die, I will come for you in that way; but if you live on until my Second Advent, ‘I will come again, and receive you unto myself.’” Joh_14:3. That where I am, there ye may be also....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Oh! this is ground for sweet comfort, and it ought to yield it to us tonight. He has gone, but he will come again; he has not left us for ever. Space divides us for awhile; but, skipping over the mountains like a roe and...

And whither I go ye know,.... They might have known, at least, whither he was going, since he had spoke of his Father's house, and of his going to prepare a place for them there, and doubtless had some knowledge thereof, though very confused and imperfect: and the way ye know: this also they might have known from some expressions of his, that the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? The apostles blundered, and lost themselves in the words of their Master, instead of entering into the spirit of what he said; so we must not wonder if we often do the same. Unless we wait upon God to be...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. We know where Christ has gone. Every step we can follow. The way we know. It always reconciles us to a friend’s going away if we know where he has gone — know all about him. A mother tells me that she has missed her boy now for twelve months, and never heard from him. That is sorrow; but when we know...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Yes, we do know where Christ has gone, and we also know the way.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. “I am not going to take a leap into the dark; you know where I am going, and you also know the road along which I am going.” Ah! but sometimes sorrow forgets what it knows, and thus creates a cloud of unnecessary ignorance which darkens and increases the sorrow.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. “At least, I have taught it to you; I have explained it to you; I have told you that I am the goal of your way, and the way to your goal; that I am the end, and also the way to that end.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Ye know where Christ is gone. Ye know how to get at him. The throne on which he sits is the throne of grace. He is gone to the Father, and your prayers will find the Father. You know the way. Then frequent it; and though as yet in your bodies you cannot reach to him, yet in spirit you can. “Whither I...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Thomas saith unto him, Lord,.... Who was one of his apostles, and here betrays his ignorance, as elsewhere his unbelief; and not only speaks for himself, but for the rest of the apostles, of whom he judged by himself; and who, it may be, might understand things better than himself, though their knowledge at present was but small: we know not...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? There is always somebody who has not learned the lesson. I am afraid that it is not one Thomas, but a great many Thomases that still have to say, “We know not.” Although Christ himself be the teacher, we are always poor learners.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. “Ye know that I am going to the Father, and ye know that I am myself the way to the Father; I am going whence I came.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? I like to hear Thomas talk, even though his is a very unwise speech; I wonder when you and I ever made wise ones. We never do unless we borrow them, for all that comes of us naturally is childish and foolish, “for we know in part, and we prophesy in part.”...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? It was a pity that Thomas had such a thought as this in his mind, but as it was there, it is a great mercy that he told his Lord of it. Sometimes to put your trouble down in black and white is a quick way to get rid of it; but to bring it to your Lord in...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Oh, how much ignorance there may be where there ought to be much knowledge. It is not always the man who lives in the sunlight who sees the most. Thomas had been one of the twelve apostles for years, he had during all that time had Christ for his Teacher, yet...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Which was a contradiction of his Master, which Thomas ought not to have uttered. He should have put it much rather in the form of a question for explanation, than of such a fiat denial. His Master said, “Whither I go ye know.” He said, “We know not whither...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way,.... Our Lord takes the opportunity of this discourse about the place he was going to, and the way unto it, more fully to instruct his disciples concerning himself, saying, "I am the way"; Christ is not merely the way, as he goes before his people as an example; or merely as a prophet, pointing out unto them by...
