Indwelling of the Father and the Son

19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but ayou will see Me. bBecause I live, you will live also.  
20 At that day you will know that aI am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.  
21 aHe who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and1 manifest Myself to him.”  
22 aJudas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”  
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, aand We will come to him and make Our home with him.  
24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and athe word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.  

The Gift of His Peace

25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.
26 But athe Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will bsend in My name, cHe will teach you all things, and bring to your dremembrance all things that I said to you.

Barnes' Notes
<< John 14:20   John 14:22 >>


John 14:21

He that hath ... - This intimate union is further manifested by these facts:

1.That true love to Jesus will produce obedience. See John 14:15.

2.That those who love him will be loved of the Father, showing that there is a union between the Father and the Son.

3.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 other and to God, and the bond which unites the whole kingdom in one is love.

Will manifest myself to him - To manifest is to show, to make appear, to place before the eyes so that an object may be seen. This means that Jesus would so show himself to his followers that they should see and know that he was their Saviour. In what way this is done, see John 14:23.
