Commentary on John 3:35

Theological / Devotional

Loveth the Son. As attested by the voice from heaven at His baptism (see on Matt. 3:17). Before coming to this earth Father and Son were associated together as equals in an eternal fellowship (see on John 1:1). But John here speaks of the Father’s love for His Son in His incarnate state, living on earth as a man among men. The infinite love that existed between Father and Son throughout eternity had been in no way abated by the incarnation.

Hath given all things. Even as a man among men Jesus has full authority to act in the name of the Father. Compare John 5:22, 27, 26; 13:3; 17:2, 24; etc.; see on Matt. 11:27 ; 28:18.
