And he that sent me is with me
By virtue of that near union there is between them, they being
one in nature, essence, power, and glory, and by the gracious,
powerful, comfortable, assisting, and strengthening presence of
his Father, which he vouchsafed to him as man, and Mediator;
the Father hath not left me alone;
Christ, as the word, was with the Father from all eternity, and,
as the Son of God, was in heaven, and in the bosom of the Father,
when he, as the son of man, was here on earth; for though he came
forth from the Father into this world, by assumption of the human
nature, yet the Father was always with him, and he with the
Father, through the unity of the divine nature; nor did he
withhold his supporting and assisting presence from him as man;
nor did he withdraw, at least he had not yet withdrawn his
gracious and comfortable presence from him, though he afterwards
did, when upon the cross: compare with this ( John 16:32 ) ;
for I do always those things that please him;
by submitting to Gospel ordinances, as to baptism, at which the
Father declared his well pleasedness in him; and by complying
with the ordinances of the ceremonial law, which were typical of
him; and by perfectly obeying the precepts of the moral law, and
bearing the penalty of it; or by suffering and dying in the room
and stead of his people; all which were the will of God, and well
pleasing to him.
