João 14

João 14:1

“Não se perturbe o seu coração; acredite em Deus, acredite também em mim.

Acredite em Deus, acredite também em mim. Os judeus fizeram o primeiro; Os cristãos fazem as duas coisas.

Existem diferentes tipos de fé, mas apenas um tipo que salva. Os principais sacerdotes e anciãos criam em Deus, mas a sua fé não foi acompanhada pela obra de acreditar naquele que ele enviou (ver entrada for Jas. 2:18). Theirs was a dead and useless faith.

João 14:6

Jesus lhe disse: “Eu sou o caminho, e a verdade, e a vida; ninguém vem ao Pai senão por mim.

(uma) A verdade is another name for Jesus. It’s also a name for God the Father (1 John 5:20) and God the Holy Spirit (1 John 5:6) Truth is not a manmade construct but is defined by the One who is truth personified. Both grace and truth are fully realized in Jesus (John 1:17). If we are to stand against the enemies lies, we need to be girded or encircled with the belt of truth (Eph. 6:14).

(b) The life. Two kinds of life are described in the Bible; the psuche– ou a vida da alma que herdamos de Adão e do zoé– or spirit life that comes from God (John 5:26). It’s the second kind of life that Jesus is describing here. See entrada para Nova Vida.

(c) O pai; Vejo entrada for John 4:21.

(d) But through Me. God reveals himself through prophecies, laws, and visions, but the clearest picture of God the Father comes through the Son. “No one has seen the Father, except the One who is from God” (John 6:46). “No one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son reveals him” (Matt. 11:27). It is through Jesus alone that we encounter the true character of God.

João 14:9

Jesus lhe disse: “Estou há tanto tempo convosco e ainda não me conheces, Filipe? Quem me viu, viu o Pai; como você pode dizer: 'Mostre-nos o Pai'?

(uma) Show us the Father. The Father is exactly like the Son (Heb. 1:3). “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30).

Como é Deus? Ele é como Jesus. Se você viu o Filho, você viu o Pai. Esta semelhança torna fácil rejeitarmos as caricaturas tolas da religião criada pelo homem. Visto que Jesus não é um Papai Noel do céu semi-surdo, então Deus também não o é. E como Jesus não é um punidor terrível, Deus também não o é. Seu Pai celestial é exatamente como Jesus.

(b) O pai; Vejo entrada for John 4:21.

John 14:12

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.

(uma) O pai; Vejo entrada for John 4:21.

(b) The works that I do, he will do also. Jesus said it, and the apostles proved it. The works he did – proclaiming liberty to the captives, opening blind eyes, delivering the oppressed – we can do too.

When Jesus sent out the disciples, he gave them the authority to do what he had been doing. “Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness” (Matt. 10:1). Later, he repeated the exercise with seventy disciples (Luke 10:1). The disciples returned saying that they had done what Jesus commissioned them to do. “The seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name’” (Luke 10:17).

(c) Greater works. The disciples emulated the works of Christ before Pentecost. After Pentecost, they were empowered to do even greater works. In addition to healing the sick and delivering the oppressed, they were able to release the life of the Holy Spirit – something that had not been possible before the Spirit was given. In short, they were able to col-labour with the Lord to make new creation believers. The apostles preached the gospel, and when people responded in faith, the Holy Spirit made them new.

A sick person who is healed will eventually die, but someone who has been made new by the power of God will never die (John 11:26, Gal. 6:8). Jesus and the disciples healed people who were part of Adam’s family, but after Pentecost, a new species was created – the new creation family of God. Being born again is a greater work than merely being healed or delivered. The new creation is the greater work that Christ spoke of.

John 14:13–14

“Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

(uma) Whatever you ask in my name; Vejo entrada for Matt. 16:19.

(b) O pai; Vejo entrada for John 4:21.

João 14:15

“Se você me ama, você guardará meus mandamentos.

(uma) Se você me ama. Our love for the Lord is a response to his great love for us (1 John 4:19).

(b) Você guardará meus mandamentos. Quando você sabe o quanto Jesus o ama, é fácil confiar nele e obedecê-lo. Seu grande amor nos inspira a confiar nele. Esta é a essência da fé. Veja também o entrada for John 14:23.

Um sinal de que uma igreja está estabelecida na graça é que ela entende que a obediência é um fruto e não uma raiz.

João 14:16

“Eu pedirei ao Pai, e Ele vos dará outro Consolador, para que esteja convosco para sempre;

(uma) O pai; Vejo entrada for John 4:21.

(b) O ajudante. Life is too big for any of us to handle, but the good news is that God is our very great Helper (Deu. 33:26). “The Spirit also helps our weakness” (Rom. 8:26).

Leitura adicional: “Quem é o seu ajudante?”

(c) Ele pode estar com você para sempre. The moment you said yes to Jesus, God stamped you with his seal of ownership and gave you his Spirit as a guarantee of your salvation (2 Cor. 1:22, Eph. 1:13). The Holy Spirit doesn’t come and go but he dwells or abides in you forever.

João 14:17

esse é o Espírito da verdade, que o mundo não pode receber, porque não o vê nem o conhece, mas você o conhece porque Ele habita com você e estará em você.

Ele permanece com você. You are not a motel room for the Lord. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19). You are his forever home (John 14:16, Rom. 8:9, Heb. 13:5).

João 14:18

“Não vos deixarei órfãos; Eu virei para você.

I will come to you. Jesus is referring to Pentecost and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, a.k.a., the Spirit of Christ (Acts 1:5, Rom. 8:9).

João 14:19

“Daqui a pouco o mundo não me verá mais, mas vocês me verão; porque eu vivo, vocês também viverão.

(uma) Because I live. Everything that makes the new creation new is based on these three words. We truly live, porque Cristo vive. Temos paz, esperança e alegria, porque Cristo vive.

(b) You will live also. In Adam, death reigned over us; in Christ, we reign in life (Rom. 5:17). In Christ, we can be free and whole and enjoy abundant and everlasting life.

João 14:20

“Naquele dia vocês saberão que eu estou em meu Pai, e vocês em mim, e eu em vocês.

(uma) Meu pai; Vejo entrada for John 4:21.

(b) Você em mim e eu em você. You are one with the Lord. The best way to understand this is to picture the relationship of a vine and its branches (John 15:5). The branches are part of the vine and the life of the vine flows through the branches.

Intimacy is not something we ever need long for. (He is already with us.) We don’t have to beg God to rend the heavens and come down. (He already did.) And we never have to fear that he might abandon us as orphans. (He promised he wouldn’t.) The good news declares that now and forever more, you are in intimate union with the Lord (Eph. 2:13).

João 14:21

“Aquele que tem os meus mandamentos e os guarda esse é o que me ama; e quem me ama será amado por meu Pai, e eu o amarei e me manifestarei a ele”.

Loved by my Father. The God that Jesus revealed is a loving Father (John 10:17, 14:23, 15:9, 16:27, 17:26), who loves us as much as he loves his Son (see entrada for John 17:23).

João 14:23

Jesus respondeu e disse-lhe: “Se alguém me ama, guardará a minha palavra; e meu Pai o amará, e viremos para ele e faremos nele morada.

(uma) Se alguém me ama. No one can love Jesus unless they have first received the love of God. We love because he first loved us (1 John 4:19).

(b) Ele manterá minha palavra. When you know how much Jesus loves you, he is easy to trust and obey (John 14:15). His great love for us inspires us to trust him.

In the new covenant, obedience follows trust, and we trust him because we know his love. However, someone with an old covenant mindset reverses the order: “If you wish to earn his love, you must keep his commandments.” Perversely, this mindset will have the very opposite effect as it will cause you to trust in yourself while alienating you from Christ (Gal. 5:4).

(c) Meu pai; Vejo entrada for John 4:21.

(d) Vai amá-lo. The God that Jesus revealed is a loving Father (John 10:17, 14:21, 15:9, 16:27, 17:23, 26).

(e) Faça nossa morada com ele. Just as the Holy Spirit abides with us (John 14:17), so do the Father and the Son. “Surely I am with you always” (Matt. 28:20).

João 14:24

“Quem não me ama não guarda as minhas palavras; e a palavra que vocês ouvem não é minha, mas do Pai que me enviou.

(uma) O pai; Vejo entrada for John 4:21.

(b) Who sent me. On numerous occasions, Jesus told his disciples that he was not from earth but had come or been sent from heaven. See entrada for John 6:38.

João 14:26

“Mas o Consolador, o Espírito Santo, que o Pai enviará em meu nome, Ele vos ensinará todas as coisas e vos fará lembrar de tudo o que eu vos disse.

(uma) The Holy Spirit is given to the believer as a seal of God’s ownership and a pledge or guarantee of our inheritance (2 Cor. 1:22, Gal. 3:5, Eph. 1:14). Through the agency of the Holy Spirit, God pours his love into our hearts (Rom. 5:5). The Holy Spirit testifies that we are children of God and encourages us to cry out “Abba, Father” (Rom. 8:15, Gal. 4:6). He also intercedes for us and helps us to pray as we should (Rom. 8:26–27). The indwelling Holy Spirit is the means by which the Lord empowers us to live in union with himself and bear his spiritual fruit (Rom. 8:11, Gal. 5:22–23).

The Holy Spirit is as known as the Spirit of God (Matt. 3:16, 12:28, Rom. 8:9, 14, 1 Cor. 2:11, 14, 3:16, 6:11, 7:40, 12:3, 2 Cor. 3:3, Eph. 4:30, Php. 3:3, 1 Pet. 4:14, 1 John 4:2), the Spirit of Christ (Rom. 8:9, Php. 1:19, 1 Pet. 1:11), the Spirit of the Lord (2 Cor. 3:17), the Spirit of truth (John 14:17, 15:26, 16:13, 1 John 4:6), the Spirit of holiness (Rom. 1:4), the Spirit of glory (1 Pet. 4:14), the Spirit of grace (Heb. 10:29), and the Helper (John 14:6, 26, 16:7).

João 14:30

“Não falarei muito mais com você, porque o governante do mundo está chegando e ele não tem nada em mim;

(uma) O governante deste mundo; Vejo entrada for John 12:31.

(b) He has nothing in Me. Nothing means no hold, no claim, no power, and no ownership because Jesus was not from Adam’s enslaved line. Jesus was born outside the prison. Only a free man can ransom a slave.
