Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 16:6

"But because I have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart." — John 16:6 (ASV)

But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart (John 16:6).

When a poor Christian friend is dying, you are full of sorrow because he is going away from you. Why do you not ask where he is going? If he is going home to heaven and to glory, why, then be comforted about him; you have no cause for distress on his account.
