bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"All true comfort and peace comes to us by Christ alone."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"Peace is put for all good, and Christ has left us all that is really and truly good, all the promised good; peace of mind from our justification before God."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"Lord, evermore give us this peace! How serenely may we pass through the most turbulent scenes of life, when all is quiet and harmonious within! Thou hast made peace through the blood of thy cross. May we give all diligence to preserve the inestimable gift inviolate, till it issue in everlasting peace!"
bullet"The Comforter," John 14:26, Charles H. Spurgeon, 1855.
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"Many a legacy is "left" that is never "given" to the legatee, many a gift destined that never reaches its proper object. But Christ is the Executor of His own Testament; the peace He "leaves" He "gives"; Thus all is secure."
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
bullet"Their desire that he should not go away was due, in part at least, to selfish motives."
bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
bullet Comments (commentary) and Clippings (technical notes for in-depth study), Chris Haslam, Anglican Diocese of Montreal.
bullet "First Thoughts on Year C Gospel Passages in the Lectionary: Easter 6," William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"John must have been aware that the impending depression which would strike the disciples for ‘a little while’ between Good Friday and Easter morning would strike their successors often."
bulletExegetical Notes by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
bullet"Whenever I see the word "peace" (eirene), I think that it needs to be interpreted first in a communal aspect -- the way people get along with one another, rather than in an individual sense of inner tranquility. However, the inner sense might be implied in this verse which goes on with the command, "Do not let your hearts be troubled." So it may have a sense of the inner feelings (of the community) in this verse."
bullet "Enough," Mary Hinkle, Pilgrim Preaching: Keeping Company with Biblical texts and the people who hear and preach them.
bullet"The story demonstrates what "enough" means, even when, in the midst of it, we think that time or some other commodity is running out. Jesus, by means of his Holy Spirit, finds time, place, love and life enough for all of us."
bullet Laterally Luke, by Brian McGowan, Anglican priest in Western Australia.
bullet "The Turn in the Path," Suzanne Guthrie, The Christian Century, 2001. Religion Online.
bullet The Presence of the Paraclete, Easter to Trinity with the Gospel of John: Bearing Witness to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Paul S. Berge, Word & World Texts in Context, Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary, 1995.
bullet"We go in the peace of the empowering word of the Son as he goes to the Father, and we go in the empowering work of the Paraclete, the one who is called to walk beside us."
bullet Sixth Sunday of Easter, The Church in Mission: Gospel Texts for the Sundays of Easter (Series C), Duane A. Olson, Word & World Texts in Context, Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary, 1995.
bullet"We are made to participate in the divine life by the One who has given us peace, has sent the Spirit, the counselor, and who will bring us into that dwelling."
bullet Kairos CoMotion Lectionary Discussion, John 14:23-29, Wesley White. "A place of conversation regarding Progressive Christianity."
bullet "Incomplete and Imperfect," Expository Essay, John 14:23-28, Dr. William R. Long.
bullet"Praise God for our incompleteness; let's yearn for further filling."
bullet "'We Will Come to Him and Make Our Abode with Him,'" Jerry Goebel, One Family Outreach. "Focus on scripture from a justice perspective." Exegesis, study, and teen study and activities.
bullet"The incredible news of Jesus is that not only is a place prepared for us with God; but God, through the Holy Spirit, is willing to come to our place when we love like Jesus loved – when we keep his word."
bullet "Who Will Take Care of Us?" James C. Somerville, The Christian Century, 1998. At Religion Online.
bullet"When I teach the Gospel of John, I usually tell my students that a paraclete is the one whose name you call when you are hauled into court on false charges, when the school bully is beating you up on the playground, when you wake up from a bad dream in the middle of the night. A paraclete is the one who comes to your defense, your rescue, your comfort, and Jesus has done that for his disciples. But now another paraclete will serve that function. As Fred Craddock puts it: 'The Holy Spirit will do for the Church what Jesus has done for the disciples.'"
bullet "The Holy Spirit Will Teach You Everything," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources. Includes detailed textual notes.
bulletLectionary Commentary and Preaching Paths (Easter C6), by Dennis Bratcher, at The Christian Resource Institute.
bullet"A Preaching Path closer to the setting of the passage in John’s Gospel and in the Johannine community would lead to hearing the passage from the perspective of the needs of the church."
bullet"Facing the Future: A Prescription for Peace (John 14)," by Robert Deffinbaugh at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
bullet"The outcome of Jesus’ words should be faith, the corrective to fear. Since the Lord Jesus has promised peace, they need not face the future with timidity and trepidation (verse 27)."
bullet"The Theological Message of John 14:15-31," Greg Herrick, Biblical Studies Foundation.
bullet"Jesus has confidence in God's plan and power (13:3) and knows that God is in control."
bulletArticles & Background:
bullet "Worship in the Fourth Gospel: A Cultural Interpretation of John 14-17," Jerome H. Neyrey, Biblical Theology Bulletin, 2006.
bullet"...the personnel of worship are clearly defined: the Patron Father who bestows benefaction on his clients by means of Jesus, the Broker. Jesus, in turn, brokers the concerns of the clients to the Patron. Finally, the household with many rooms is not space out of the world, but relationships brokered by Jesus."
bullet "The Holy Spirit," Michael Welker, Princeton Theological Seminary. Theology Today.
bullet"The one upon whom Yahweh's spirit rests is described as one who executes justice and righteousness in favor of the lowly and the poor, and who precisely in that manner acquires great power, who precisely in that manner builds strong loyal attachments."
bullet "We Believe in the Holy Spirit," Georgia Harkness, Chapter 3 in Beliefs That Count, 1961. At Religion Online.
bullet"We must repent not once, but many times; for life is a continuing battle against sin even after its power has been broken by the divine mercy and forgiveness. In the famous words of Martin Luther, the Christian is simul justus et peccator (at the same time justified and a sinner). And in this quickening of the soul to repentance the Holy Spirit speaks."
