They Insist His words have a spiritual or a figurative meaning, rattier than a lite ra l meaning of what the words say. Jesus sakl distin ctly, ’ 'No man hath ascended up to Heaven, but He that come down from Heaven, even the Son of man which is in Heaven." John 3:13. At an other place He sakl, "Cod is not the Coil of tie deni, but ol tlie liv in g ." Matt 23:32. Again He said unto His disciples: "W hither I go , ye cannot come.” John 13:33 In the same chapter He said. "W h ith e r I go, thou c tn s t not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afte rw a rd s." John 13:36. Again he sakl, " S tra it is the gate, and narivw is the way that leadeth unto life , anil few there be that find tt . . . Strive to enter into the stra it gate; fo r I say unto you, many shall seek to enter in, and shall not be a b le ." Luke 13:24. Jesus spoke a command ment when He sakl to the helpless man He healed by the pool, when He saw him later in tlie Temple giving thanks: "S in no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." John 5:14.
