27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

29 “And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.”<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

Peace (v.27) \u2014 First usage is reconciliation with God through Christ’s death (Colossians 1:20<\/span><\/a>; Romans 5:1<\/span><\/a>). Second usage is peace through the Spirit (Philippians 4:17<\/span><\/a>; Isaiah 26:3). The immediate application for both would be in the days and weeks that followed after Christ said this to the disciples (John 20:19<\/span><\/a>).<\/h3>\n

not as the world gives (v.27) \u2014 The world talks of peace and offers it, but can’t deliver (1 Thessalonians 5:3<\/span><\/a>)<\/h3>\n

you have heard Me say (v.28) \u2014 referring back to John 13:33-36<\/span><\/a>; 14:2-3<\/span><\/a>, 12<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

you would rejoice (v.28) \u2014 Rather than being sad, the disciples should have been happy for Christ because He was returning to the Father.<\/h3>\n

My Father is greater than I (v.28) \u2014 Not in Christ’s Godhead (Philippians 2:6-8<\/span><\/a>) but because of His humanity and servanthood<\/h3>\n

ye may believe (v.29) \u2014 that He was God, Messiah, Savior, truth<\/h3>\n

ruler of this world (v.30) \u2014 Satan, who has the power of death (Hebrews 2:14<\/span><\/a>) but would not prevail over Christ. When Christ went to the Cross, it appeared that Satan was in control, but actually the Father was.<\/h3>\n

has nothing in Me (v. 30) \u2014 Christ is holy. There is nothing in Him that Satan can influence, appeal to, or control.<\/h3>\n

Verses 30 and 31 can be summed up as “Satan has no power over Me, but I love the Father and do what I am about to do (His death) for Him. Get up. It’s time to go do what must be done.”<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
