Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 8:20

"These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come." — John 8:20 (ASV)

Like our Lord, every child of God is immortal until his work is done. This ought to divest us of every kind of fear. The enemy cannot lay hands upon a Christian until his Lord wills it; and when his hour has come, then it does not behoove the child of God to resist the Father's will.
