Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 14:8-14

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 14:8-21. The request of Philip and the response of Jesus.—Philip, catching at the word ἑωράκατε (seen), misapprehended its meaning, and thought of some theophany, some manifestation of the glory of God. This would suffice them, would remove their anxiety.John 14:9. The Lord’s answer is that He is the revelation of the Father, in Him alone is the Father revealed. There is sadness in the words in which He recalls the fact that Philip had been a disciple almost... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 14:15-31

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 14:15. Keep My commandment.—“Ask in My name. Keep My,” etc. These go together. We can only truly pray in His name when we keep, etc.John 14:16. ἐγὼ ἐρωτήσω.—The pronoun is emphatic. The verb ἐρωτᾶν is that especially used by our Lord in reference to His prayers to the Father (John 16:26; John 17:9; John 15:20). It expresses perhaps a greater degree of nearness and familiarity of approach than αἰτέω, I ask. ἄλλον Παράκλητον, κ.τ.λ. another Comforter.—The... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 14:9

John 14:9 The Surprise Christ felt I. To Christ, that He was the revealer and the image of the Father was the one foremost truth of His life. Ever since He had sense, He had felt that, and it had grown with His growth and been the one proclamation of His ministry. The blind and the deaf in heart might, He thought, see and hear it, so intense, so vivid, was it to Him. And now one of His hearers asks a question, which suddenly makes Him feel that what is to Him as the sun in heaven is not... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 14:15-17

John 14:15-17 The Christian the Temple of God I. This is the misery of sin, that it brings what is so unholy, so close, into the Presence of the All-Holy. Sin begins in thought, yet thought is of the soul, and in the soul dwelleth God the Holy Spirit. Thought goes on to consent of the will. No deadly sin is committed, but the soul has first willed it; it has willed it in the very presence of God; not afar off, not under heaven, not under His holy eye alone, but there where He came to hallow us;... read more

DISCOURSE: 1685CHRIST ONE WITH THE FATHERJohn 14:8-11. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me... read more

DISCOURSE: 1686CHRIST ENGAGES TO ANSWER PRAYERJohn 14:13-14. Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.THE Gospel is properly termed “glad tidings of great joy:” it finds men guilty; and reveals to them a way in which their iniquities may be pardoned: it finds them polluted; and provides means for their restoration to the Divine image: it finds them altogether destitute; and supplies them... 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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 14:1-31

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
