Commentary on John 12:26

Theological / Devotional

Serve me. See on John 12:25; cf. Mark 9:35 ; 10:43-45.

Follow me. See on Matt. 16:24; cf. Mark 8:34.

Where I am. Spiritual fellowship and communion with his Lord will be the privilege of him who serves the Lord in this life (Matt. 28:20), and face to face communion will be his to enjoy in the world to come.

My Father honour. For the rewards of service see Mark 10:29, 30. The conditions and rewards of discipleship are here given, doubtless with reference to the Greeks, who were apparently contemplating discipleship.
