Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 14:29-31

"And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe. I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh: and he hath nothing in me; but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence." — John 14:29-31 (ASV)

And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the Prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

"Let us go to Gethsemane and to the Passion; let us go to fulfill the Father's will." It was a sure proof of Christ's love when he went forward from speaking to suffering that he might save his own forever.

And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that, when it has come to pass, you might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so do I. Arise, let us go from here.

And he went; to his death bravely determined, to do the Father's will, though it meant drinking up that bitter cup, which made his very soul tremble within him. God give us such love to Christ as Christ had to the Father.
