John 11:10 Commentary - Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary

1 ) "But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth," (ean de tis peripate en te nukte proskoptei) "Yet if anyone walks around in the nighttime, he stumbles," in the night of death, when it is too late. He then tries to walk in the ignorance of procrastination, to do good when it is too late, as the rich man in hell did, Luk 16:19-31; 2Co 4:3-4; Eph 4:18.

2) "Because there is no light in him." (hoti to phos ouk estin en auto) "Because the light does not exist in him." He who closes his eyes against the daily spiritual light, daily revelation of the love, mercy, goodness, and compassionate call of Jesus to salvation and service in life's day of opportunity, calls too late for himself and others, when death's darkness falls, Pro 1:20-31; Pro 29:1; Heb 4:7.
