Sermon Bible Commentary - John 14:1

John 14:1 Consider the connection between believing in God and believing in Jesus Christ. I. Note first that the difficulty which men find in their way when asked to believe in Christ arises from the supernatural character of His manifestation and working. Take this away and there would be no difficulty for them in believing in Christ, no more difficulty in believing in Him than they have in believing in Socrates or Plato. Admitting that Jesus Christ was no more than a man, that His birth was... read more

DISCOURSE: 1682FAITH IN CHRIST AN ANTIDOTE TO ALL TROUBLEJohn 14:1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.AS God is eminently distinguished by that character, “The Comforter of all them that are cast down,” so did Jesus evince his title to it during the whole time of his sojourning on earth: there was no distress which he did not remove from those who made their application to him; and not unfrequently did he anticipate the wants, which the unbelief or ignorance... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 14:1-31

Chapter 14Jesus said,Let not your heart be troubled ( John 14:1 ):Now, they were troubled because He had been saying these things. "I'm going to go away; where I go you cannot come." He's been talking about His death; He's been talking about His betrayal. He's been saying things that are very troubling to them. And yet, He said unto them, "Let not your heart be troubled." The cure for it is,believe in God, and believe in me ( John 14:1 )."Ye believe in God..." and that is either a question or... read more

John 14:1-4 . Let not your heart be troubled. Our Saviour having denounced Judas as a traitor, and plainly spoken of his own departure out of the world, left no jewish hope of a temporal kingdom; sorrow therefore filled their hearts. But the worst was not disclosed, the crucifixion of their Lord and Master. Sweet was that voice, Let not your hearts be troubled. He bids them be covered with the shield of faith; ye believe in God, believe also in me. Here we are taught, that God is the... read more

John 14:1-4Let not your heart be troubled.This clause is the true heading to the whole consolatory discourse, for it flows on in one channel of love and ends at last with the words, “Be of good cheer.” Let not your heart be troubledWe may well feel glad that God’s people of old were men of like passions with ourselves. It is not the will of God that His people should “be troubled” in heart; hence these blessed words. I. LET US TASTE OF THE BITTER WATERS. 1. Jesus was to die. It had finally... read more

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. Ver. 1. Let not your heart, &c. ] Our Saviour sweetly proceeds in his swan-like song. Aelian tells us that he once heard a dying swan sing most heavenly and harmoniously, ευφωνοτατον και ωδικωτατον . (Hist. Var. lib. i.) The poet shows the manner of it, when he saith -" longa canoros Dat per colla modos "- Of the Syrens (on the contrary) it is reported, that how sweetly soever they sang before, yet at death they... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:1

Impending departure of Jesus, John 14:1-14. 1. Let not your heart be troubled The Saviour himself, in view of his own impending passion, had been “troubled in spirit,” John 13:31; John 12:27, but now he employs his own moments of divine calmness to sustain the hearts of his followers above a similar trouble. The whole is most intelligible by keeping his agony, and cross, and departure in view, as the point by which they would most be troubled. The source of their consolation is God... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:1-31

§ 127. JESUS COMFORTS HIS DISCIPLES, John 14:1-31 . If, as some commentators suppose, the institution of the Lord’s Supper took place between John 13:35 and John 13:36, then the opening of this discourse has a degree of dependence on the warning just given to Peter. But if the institution of the Supper takes place at the close of the last chapter, the present chapter, at any rate, is a post-communion discourse. Though the variations of thought are so great, that we may, perhaps, properly... read more
