1 | What did Jesus mean, "obey My commands?" | John 14:21 | kalos | 162229 | ||
'"My commandments" are not only Jesus' ethical commandments in context (vv. 23,24), but the entire revelation from the Father (see John 3:31,32; 12:47-49; 17:6).' (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) 'keep my commandments:' 'these [commands] are peculiarly "his" (Christ's), as distinct from, though NOT in opposition to, or TO THE EXCLUSION OF, HIS FATHER'S COMMANDS; such as 'the new commandment of loving one another, and the ordinances of baptism, and the Lord's supper, which are to be observed and kept as Christ has ordered them, constantly, in faith, and with a view to his glory.' (Emphasis added.) ____________________ Gill, John. "Commentary on John 14:15". "The New John Gill Exposition of the Entire Bible". (http://studylight.org/com/geb/) |

2 | What did Jesus mean, "obey My commands?" | John 14:21 | MJH | 162306 | ||
I think MacArthur is correct, but I just don't think that most Evangelical Christians (of which I am one) actually walk it. When the discussion gets down to the specifics, there is so much rationalizing and qualifiers as to WHY we don't have to obey THAT command. Even MacArthur (I hope I am not confusing him with another guy) on his churches web site gives these reasons for some of the commands, none of which I agree with. If Jesus said to obey all the commands, even the little ones, then why don’t we? MJH |
