約翰福音 8:42 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:42

Jesus said unto them, if God were your Father
By adoption; and this was discovered by the grace of regeneration; or in other words, if they had been born of God,

ye would love me;
for in regeneration love to Christ is always implanted: it is a fruit of the Spirit, which always comes along with the superabounding grace of God in conversion; whoever are begotten again, according to abundant mercy, love an unseen Jesus; and where there is no love to Christ, there can be no regeneration: such persons are not born again; nor is God their Father, at least manifestatively:

for I proceeded forth; and came from God;
the former of these phrases is observed by many learned men to be used by the Septuagint, of a proper natural birth, as in ( Genesis 15:4 ) ( 35:11 ) ; and here designs the eternal generation of Christ, as the Son of God, being the only begotten of the Father, and the Son of the Father in truth and love; and the other is to be understood of his mission from him, as Mediator:

neither came I of myself;
or did not take the office to himself, without being called unto it, and invested with it, by his Father:

but he sent me;
not by force, or against the will of Christ, or by change of place, but by assumption of nature; he sent him at the time agreed upon, in human nature, to obtain eternal redemption for his people: and upon both these accounts Christ is to be loved by all regenerate persons, or who have God for their Father; both on account of his being the Son of God, of the same nature and essence with him, see ( 1 John 5:1 ) ; and on account of his mission into this world, as Mediator, since he was sent, and came to be the Saviour of lost sinners.

約翰福音 8:42 In-Context

40 我 將 在 神 那 裡 所 聽 見 的 真 理 告 訴 了 你 們 , 現 在 你 們 卻 想 要 殺 我 , 這 不 是 亞 伯 拉 罕 所 行 的 事 。
41 你 們 是 行 你 們 父 所 行 的 事 。 他 們 說 : 我 們 不 是 從 淫 亂 生 的 ; 我 們 只 有 一 位 父 , 就 是 神 。
42 耶 穌 說 : 倘 若 神 是 你 們 的 父 , 你 們 就 必 愛 我 ; 因 為 我 本 是 出 於 神 , 也 是 從 神 而 來 , 並 不 是 由 著 自 己 來 , 乃 是 他 差 我 來 。
43 你 們 為 甚 麼 不 明 白 我 的 話 呢 ? 無 非 是 因 你 們 不 能 聽 我 的 道 。
44 你 們 是 出 於 你 們 的 父 魔 鬼 , 你 們 父 的 私 慾 你 們 偏 要 行 。 他 從 起 初 是 殺 人 的 , 不 守 真 理 , 因 他 心 裡 沒 有 真 理 。 他 說 謊 是 出 於 自 己 ; 因 他 本 來 是 說 謊 的 , 也 是 說 謊 之 人 的 父 。
