John Gill
And no man hath ascended into heaven,.... Though Enoch and Elias had, yet not by their own power, nor in the sense our Lord designs; whose meaning is, that no man had, or could go up to heaven, to bring from thence the knowledge of divine and heavenly things; in which sense the phrase is used in Deuteronomy 30:12, and which may be illustrated by John 1:18; wherefore inasmuch as Nicodemus had...
Matthew Henry
In this chapter we have, I. Christ's discourse with Nicodemus, a Pharisee, concerning the great mysteries of the gospel, in which he here privately instructs him, ver. 1-21. II. John Baptist's discourse with his disciples concerning Christ, upon occasion of his coming into the neighbourhood where John was (ver. 22-36), in which he fairly and faithfully resigns all his honour and interest to him....
Charles H. Spurgeon
; Joh_3:15. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. This exposition consisted of readings from Num_21:1-9; and Joh_3:1-15.
Charles H. Spurgeon
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. He alone knows the secrets of God who has been with God, who has come from God, and who is still with God.
Charles H. Spurgeon
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Now Nicodemus must have been indeed puzzled. Here was a man who had come down from heaven, yet who had gone up to heaven, and was still there, although he was at that moment talking to Nicodemus! Without the Spirit of God to explain the mystery, he could not make top or bottom of it.
Charles H. Spurgeon
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even, the Son of man which is in heaven. It is Christ who knows everything. He understands all mysteries; he can teach all truth, for he has been in heaven, he came down to earth, and he has gone back again to heaven. Now, perhaps, some of you will be saying, “How are we to be saved? If there is no salvation without the new...
Charles H. Spurgeon
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. So far, this chapter speaks of the new birth, and there are many people who are much perplexed because they cannot comprehend this great mystery. They ask, “How, then, can we be saved? Is there no way of salvation without the new birth?” Assuredly there is none, yet the way of...
Charles H. Spurgeon
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. A riddle, doubtless, to Nicodemus, which in after days he understood.
Charles H. Spurgeon
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. There was a nut that Nicodemus could not crack, a riddle that he could not solve; and the Saviour left him thus puzzled, for the time being, that he might learn that, unless he was taught of the Spirit, he could not understand the teaching of Christ. You and I, who have been taught of...
Charles H. Spurgeon
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. This saying must have puzzled Nicodemus; he had, doubtless, read a great many riddles, but into the meaning of this riddle he could not enter; yet, beloved, any child of God, though he was converted only yesterday, may know what Jesus meant. Now observe that, as the first part of this...
Charles H. Spurgeon
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that come down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. We are in the stairway now between heaven and earth; Christ has came down; Christ has gone up, and yet he was always there; a mystery, but one that is true, and new. Today we can go up by thought and prayer, and blessings can come down; and Christ is always there. “He is at the...
