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.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 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.
-John 8:21-24 (King James Version)
What a tragedy that Jesus is telling of here in these verses. The tragedy is seeing the One who can save you, and do nothing about it. It's like the person drowning in a rain swollen river. Those on the shore toss a lifeline to the person drowning, but the person drowning don't trust the rope enough to get them to shore. So they drown, in full view of the one thing they needed to save their life.
Jesus said, in verse 21, "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.'" I've came across many people who are seeking a savior. I've came across many people who were seeking the truth. I've came across many people who will die in their sins because they don't believe that Jesus is who He says He is. Verse 24 says, "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." Seek no more, Jesus is the One who can save you! Seek no more, Jesus is the truth. And the truth is that, apart from Jesus, you will die in your sins. You'll see the lifeline, but will fail to grab onto it. What a tragedy.
Have you given your life to Jesus? He's waiting to forgive you of your sins, if you'll just trust Him. Think About It.
