Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gospel and Epistles of John: With Notes, Critical, Explanatory, and Practical, Designed for Both Pastors and People John wrote his gospel for the twofold purpose - "that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that, believing, ye might have life through his name." The Christian commentator can have no other worthy object than to enter into the spirit and promote the purposes of his author. In the present ease he has no occasion to aspire to any thing higher, and can have no apology for any thing lower, or other. To reveal Jesus to men, so that, in the light of his words and of his deeds, they shall see him to be surely the promised Christ, the very Son of God, and therefore the Giver of life to morally dying souls - this is supreme. No object can be higher or nobler; none more vital to real salvation. To know Jesus as John reveals him is not only to know that he is sent of the Father; bears witness to the truth; suffered unto death as "the Lamb of God, taking away the sin of the world," hut it is also to know his heart of love and sympathy, of fellowship with his people, and of most tender and confidential friendship. - It is the charm of John´s writings that they bring Jesus impressively near to the heart, and beget a sense of personal acquaintance with the Lord. Under such apprehensions of Jesus, our love to him naturally becomes intelligent and therefore solid, enduring, and such as legitimately develops itself in joyous obedience. In my Notes on John, my first aim has been interpretation - to unfold and illustrate the true and the whole sense of his words.
