La lección bíblica para este día forma parte del discurso de despedida (Juan 14:8-17). En este discurso el Maestro desarolla temas de importantísimos en la jornada discipular: •Él es el único recurso al Padre (14:1-7) •Él es la vida verdadera, los discípulos son pompanos (ramas) cuya existencia depende absolutamente en estar conectados permanentemente con Él … Continue reading “San Juan 14:8-17 [25-27] Comentario por Alvin Padilla”

El pasaje comienza con una intervención de Felipe, que más que una pregunta parece casi una demanda tanto individual como colectiva: “¡Lo que queremos es ver al Padre!” El pedido de Felipe representa el de muchos y muchas a través de los siglos: si Jesús nos pudiera mostrar a Dios de tal o cual manera, … Continue reading “San Juan 14:8-17 [25-27] Comentario por Nancy Elizabeth Bedford”

Este domingo de Pentecostés nos dirigimos al evangelio según San Juan y su visión del Espíritu (y no necesariamente a la acostumbrada historia del “Día de Pentecostés” en Hechos 2:1-4). Estamos en la parte del discurso de despedida de Jesús a sus discípulos en la que les asegura que sus corazones no se deben “turbar” … Continue reading “San Juan 14:8-17 [25-27] Comentario por Efraín Agosto”

While most seminarians learn that John 13-17 is “the farewell discourse” in John, Gordon Fee refers to these chapters more simply as “table talks.”1 Jesus is at the table with the disciples. Knowing that he has come from God and is going to God, Jesus spends his last evening with his own. He eats with … Continue reading “John 14:8-17, [25-27] Commentary by Mary Hinkle Shore”

Believe, believe, believe. While the reading from Acts will no doubt take center stage on this celebration of Pentecost, nevertheless, this gospel reading from John challenges us to think about how it is that we come to believe. In fact, in this reading from Jesus’ farewell sermon, his challenge to believe is made four times … Continue reading “John 14:8-17, [25-27] Commentary by Lucy Lind Hogan”

Joseph is in love with Maria. This sounds like a biblical story, but it is not in the Bible. These two young people live in Mary Gordon’s story, “Temporary Shelter.” Joseph has loved Maria since the two of them were children and his mother went to work for Maria’s father. He is drawn to Maria’s … Continue reading “John 14:8-17, [25-27] Commentary by Barbara Lundblad”

La temática que precede a este pasaje es la incertidumbre y ansiedad que provoca el anuncio de Jesús en el capítulo 13. Se trata del inicio de una despedida que crea conmoción entre los discípulos. No es sólo una despedida ante una partida pasajera, sino el anuncio de una transición a un nuevo estado por … Continue reading “San Juan 14:1-14 Comentario por Guillermo Hansen”

¿Cheque en blanco? No sería mala idea considerar a los versículos 13 y 14 como motivadores para la meditación de todo el texto. En ellos se alude tanto a la naturaleza del creyente en su condición de peticionario como a la bondad del Señor. Sin embargo, debemos preguntarnos sobre lo que quiere decir el Señor … Continue reading “San Juan 14:1-14 Comentario por Ismael León”

John 14:1-3 often serves pastors in funeral contexts. With my seminary students I refer to it as the “cots in heaven” sermon that goes something like this: when we die, our souls are immediately whisked to heaven to a mansion of some sort where our personal cot is waiting and where we FINALLY get to … Continue reading “John 14:1-14 Commentary by Jaime Clark-Soles”

Oh, the honesty of Thomas and Philip. Perhaps the best choice for us as we hear and wrestle with the complexities of this passage is to imitate that honesty.  This passage from Jesus’ farewell discourse, which began in John 13, is a series of dialogues that turn on honest questions.  How we ought to cherish … Continue reading “John 14:1-14 Commentary by Sarah Henrich”
