Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 14:21

He that hath ... - This intimate union is further manifested by these facts:That true love to Jesus will produce obedience. See John 14:15. That those who love him will be loved of the Father, showing that there is a union between the Father and the Son. That Jesus also will love them, evincing still the same union. Religion is love. The love of one holy being or object is the love of all. The kingdom of God is one. His people, though called by different names, are one. They are united to each... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 14:18-24

John 14:18-24. I will not leave you comfortless Greek, ορφανους , orphans: a word elegantly applied to those who have lost any dear friend; I will come to you By my spiritual presence. The Greek, ερχομαι , is literally, I come to you; for what was certainly and speedily to be, our Lord speaks of as if it were already. Yet a little while and the world Which only sees by bodily eyes; seeth me no more In the sense it has done for some time past, though it knows me not; but ye see me ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 14:15-31

144. Promise of the Holy Spirit (John 14:15-31)In assuring the disciples of the blessings that would follow his return to the Father (see John 14:12), Jesus had not specifically mentioned the Holy Spirit. Now he explained. When he returned to the Father, he would send the Holy Spirit as the Counsellor, or Helper, to guide, instruct and strengthen them. Those who did not believe in Jesus would not be able to understand how this Helper worked, because their understanding was limited to the things... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 14:21

He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.The thought here is like that of John 14:15 (which see); also, the oneness of Christ with the Father is the constantly recurring theme of the Gospel, and is apparent here in Christ's loving whom the Father loves, and in the Father's loving them that love Christ. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 14:21

21. He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, &c.—(See on :-). my Father and I will love him—Mark the sharp line of distinction here, not only between the Divine Persons but the actings of love in Each respectively, towards true disciples. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 14:1-24

3. Jesus’ comforting revelation in view of His departure 14:1-24Peter’s question was only the first of several that the disciples proceeded to ask Jesus. This shows their bewilderment and discouragement. They should have been comforting Him in view of what lay ahead of Him (John 12:27; John 13:21), but instead Jesus graciously proceeded to comfort them by clarifying what lay ahead of them. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 14:15-21

The promise of the Spirit 14:15-21At the end of His answer to Peter’s question (John 13:36), Jesus moved the conversation back to the general theme of preparation for His departure (John 14:4). He did the same thing after answering Philip’s question (John 14:8). Obedience to the will of God is not only a condition for getting answers to prayer. It is also an evidence of love for God. Love for God is the controlling idea in the following verses (John 14:15-21). read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 14:21

Love for God makes the believer more obedient to God. Moreover obedience results in a more intimate relationship with God that God’s love for the believer and His self-disclosure to the believer identify.The believer’s obedience does not make God love him or her more than He would otherwise. God’s love for all people is essentially as great as it can be. However in the family relationship that Jesus was describing the believer’s obedience results in God expressing His love for him or her... read more

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

The Comforter1-31. The mansions in heaven. The mission of the Comforter. This great discourse, which is not easily susceptible of formal subdivision, deals with five main subjects: (1) the heavenly mansions; (2) Christ as the Way to the Father; (3) the mutual indwelling of the Father in the Son, and of the Son in the Father; (4) the efficacy of prayer through Christ; (5) the mission of the Comforter.Some scholars think that a displacement has occurred in the farewell discourses, and... read more
