2 Corintios 5:14-15

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:14-15

For the love of Christ constrains us (‘grips us tightly’), because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died, and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again. For what they do, they do because they are constrained by the love of Christ, the love that Christ has for them (it could mean the love that we have for Christ, but the immediate reference to the cross points to His love for us). They are... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:11-19

2 Corinthians 5:11-Psalms : . The emphasis is on the opening words of 2 Corinthians 5:11. Among the clouds of misrepresentation to which he was exposed was the sneering assertion that in some unworthy sense he “ persuades” or “ gets round” men ( cf. Galatians 1:10). If it can be said of him with any truth at all, this, which he has just stated, is the reason. In any case both his motives and his methods are plain to God— and (he will never let go the hope) plain also to the inward judgment... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:14

The love of Christ signifieth either that love towards the sons of men which was in Christ before the foundation of the world; for even then (as Solomon telleth us, Proverbs 8:31) he was rejoicing in the habitable part of the earth, and his delight was with the sons of men: which love showed itself in time, in his coming and assuming our natures, and dying upon the cross for us; John 15:13; Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Or else it signifieth... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:15

And he died for all those for whom he died, not only to redeem them from the guilt of sin, but also from their vain conversation; that they which live by his grace, might not make themselves the end of their life, and live to serve themselves, and gratify their own corrupt inclinations; but might make the service of Christ, the honour and glory of him who died for them, and also rose again from the dead, the end of their lives; arguing the reasonableness of a holy and Christian life, from the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:1-21

CRITICAL NOTES2 Corinthians 5:1.—Flow of thought quite continuous from 2 Corinthians 4:18. For (2 Corinthians 4:15).… For (17).… For (2 Corinthians 5:1).… For (2).… For (4).… For (10), etc.; a chain of “fors.” We know.—Partly from having seen the glorified Christ wearing His resurrection body; Paul and the other Apostolic “witnesses of the resurrection” (Acts 1:22) could on this ground all say “we.” [Note how Peter is led from the “putting off” of his own “tabernacle” (cognate word) to the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:13-15

2 Corinthians 5:13-15 Paul's Passion for Christ. I. The Apostle affirms that the distinctive inspiration of his passionate fervour and entire consecration is the person and mission of Jesus Christ "The love of Christ constraineth us." It is distinctively love for a person "The truth as in Jesus." Everything in Christianity centres in Christ's person. Christian doctrines are simply explanations of the facts of Christ's personal history; so that Jesus Christ Himself is the personal and exclusive... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:14

2 Corinthians 5:14 I. St. Paul's was, in every sense of the word, a great conversion. It was great (1) as showing the omnipotence of God. Nothing was more unlikely, humanly speaking, than that a man of perfect outward life, a Pharisee of the Pharisees, a Hebrew of the Hebrews, should sacrifice everything for this new sect of the Nazarenes. But although, as a general rule, God works in a quiet ordinary way, though, as a general rule, "what a man sows he reaps," still God is pleased to keep, if I... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:14-15

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 Either there is a contradiction in this passage, or St. Paul's conception of love and its power is not the same with the one which is most prevalent among us. "The love of Christ constraineth us; because we judge." Here seems to be a process of the understanding strangely mixed up with a compulsion acting on the feelings or the heart. If the Apostle had to argue with himself that Christ died for all, because all were dead, and that men might not live to themselves, how can... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - 2 Corinthians 5:14-15

DISCOURSE: 2020THE CONSTRAINING POWER OF CHRIST’S LOVE2 Corinthians 5:14-15. The love of Christ conslraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.ST. PAUL was more abundant both in labours and in sufferings than any other of the Apostles: but his zeal was by many considered as no better than madness. To the lukewarm, as... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:1-21

This time, let's turn in our Bibles to II Corinthians, chapter five.Paul talked about how he was constantly facing death for the cause of Jesus Christ. But though he was constantly facing death, various perils, it didn't really trouble him, for he had a correct understanding of death. And I think that this is something that we as Christians need to have: a correct understanding of what death is for the child of God.And it is because we often do not have a correct understanding, we hear such... read more
