F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 8:12-20

the Twofold Witness John 8:12-20 On either side of the Temple court stood a huge golden candelabrum. On the first and each succeeding night of the week of the Feast of Tabernacles these were lit, and they poured a brilliant flood of light over the Temple and the city. It was to these that our Lord alluded in John 8:12 . They were symbolic and intended to recall the pillar of cloud which led the pilgrim march through the desert, and at night disclosed a heart of illuminating lire. Our Lord... read more

the Father Made Known in His Son John 8:21-30 Our Lord was absorbed in acquiring glory for His Father. He was sent by the Father, lived by the Father, could do nothing of Himself, and spoke only as the Father taught Him, John 8:28 . He could dispense with all human help and stand alone, because the Father never left Him, John 8:29 . To honor Him, please Him, work His works, live in His love, was the passion of His life, John 8:29 ; John 8:49 . There was a mystery in all this that baffled the... read more

the Source of True Liberty John 8:31-38 Sin is not a necessary part of our being. The servant abideth not in the house for ever. Your child is an integral part of the household; he has become one with it. However far he travels, he can never break the link of indissoluble connection. But it is different with a servant, especially under the provisions of the Levitical law. In like manner, a man may have served sin, but, though tightly held, it has no necessary rights over him. The trumpet of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 8:1-59

The end of chapter 7 is closely linked with this, in that after declaring "every man went to his own house," the writer said, "But Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives." Here we have the story of a return to the Temple, and of Jesus' dealing with the woman in the presence of the rulers. With matchless skill He showed that these men had no right' to judge this woman. This He did Himself in matchless grace. At verse Joh 8:12 we have a continuation of the line of thought broken off by the... read more

The Light of the World John 8:12-42 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Jesus Christ the Life, was the Light. When we study-John 1:1-4 , we think of Christ in the beginning as the Word, creating by His command all things, for "without Him was not any thing made that was made." In Him was life; that is, He possessed inherent life, and as such He was the Creator of life. There follows a marvelous conclusion: the Life that was before all things was also the Light. We remember that before He ever created the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 8:12

‘THE LIGHT OF LIFE’‘The light of life.’ John 8:12‘Light’ and ‘life’ are words which have a strange connection everywhere. Even in the natural world, there must be ‘light’ if there would be ‘life.’ And if you take away ‘light’ out of ‘life,’ it is a poor thing to live. And so it is in a man’s inner and truer being. There is no ‘light’ without ‘life’; and there is no ‘life’ without ‘light.’ And the one fountain, from which both are eternally flowing on together, is the Lord Jesus Christ. We will... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 8:21

SEEKING IN VAIN‘We shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins.’ John 8:21 This verse contains a thought so deep that we cannot fathom it. We learn that it is possible to seek Christ in vain. Our Lord says to the unbelieving Jews, ‘Ye shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins.’ He meant, by these words, that the Jews would one day seek Him in vain. The lesson is a very painful one. That such a Saviour as the Lord Jesus, so full of love, so willing to save, should ever be sought ‘in vain,’ is a... read more

DISCIPLESHIP‘Then are ye My disciples indeed.’ John 8:31 It was in the early days of the Church that ‘the disciples were called Christians’ ( Acts 11:26); but in these later days there is much need that the Christians should come to be called disciples. For it seems to have passed out of the ordinary estimate of Christianity, that ‘Christian’ and ‘disciple’ are meant to be interchangeable terms; and that those who lay claim to the former title should naturally vindicate their claim by the... read more

FREEDOM THROUGH THE TRUTH‘Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.’ John 8:32 This is the eternal answer to the protests of modern unbelief. Let us examine the words ( a) reverently, ( b) candidly, and ( c) charitably. The promise is as to those who continue in our Saviour’s words. I. What is the truth as here set forth?( a) A body of facts, not a statement of feelings.( b) Not the assertion of a set of opinions, but the revelation of a Person. II. Freedom.—‘The truth... read more

CHRIST THE LIBERATOR‘If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.’ John 8:36 (R.V). These kindly words breathe the very spirit of our Master. Christ here declares that His service is perfect freedom. ‘If the Son shall make you free ye shall be free indeed.’ For this assertion He gives two reasons. One is that He bestows a new and emancipating knowledge: ‘If ye abide in My word … ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.’ The other is that He can... read more
