“My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.” John 13:33 NIV

Notice that here the Lord calls the disciples children. How endearing yet true in that there is much which children do not understand, and there was so very much which these eleven men also did not understand.

So, where was Jesus going that the disciples could not come? Jesus was going to the cross. We all shall perish from our earthly body, but Christ did so that we might be saved through Him. Christ went to the cross that He be glorified and that the Father be glorified as well. So, there was absolutely no way any of these men could go where the Lord was going. Only Christ is and could be the eternal unblemished sacrifice offered for atonement of sin.
