Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 3:11-12

"Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?" — John 3:11-12 (ASV)

Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you do not receive our witness. If I have told you earthly things,

Commonplace things, the lower things of faith. If I have told you these,

Verily, verily I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

If, at the very entrance to the kingdom of heaven, you say, How can these things be? what will you say if I take you into the central metropolis of truth, and introduce you to the great King himself?
