Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Not a different Comforter, but the Comforter who is now with us, is of the same nature, and works after the same manner, as the Lord Jesus himself, who was our first Advocate, Helper, Paraclete, Comforter: I give you these four words instead...

Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,.... These words explain who is meant by the Comforter, "even the Spirit of truth"; the true Spirit of God, the dictator of the Scriptures of truth, who leads men into the truths of the Gospel, confirms them in them, and gives boldness and freedom to own, and confess them before men: whom the...

Until Christ himself perishes, no child of his can ever be lost.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: This poor world will not receive anything which it cannot see. It is ruled by its senses; it is carnal and fleshly, and mindeth not the things that are unseen. It cannot discern them.

But ye know him, for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. That expression, “I will not leave you comfortless,” might be rendered, “I will not leave you orphans.”

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him; but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. The world knows nothing about the Holy Spirit; it can hear the gospel, it can hear the outward word, but the living, mystic, inward Spirit the world knows nothing of.
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
I will not leave you comfortless,.... Gr. "orphans", or "fatherless". Christ stands in the relation of a Father to his people, and they are his children, his spiritual seed and offspring; and so the disciples might fear, that as Christ was going from them, they should be left as children without a father, in a very desolate and comfortless,...

I will not leave you comfortless: Orphans. Joh_14:18. I will come to you. He does this by his Spirit, but still he means more than that. It is not a spiritual coming merely; it is a personal coming. “I will come to you.”

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. There is a continuous sight of Christ even as there is a continuous life in Christ. They who have not received the life of Christ cannot see Christ. How can there be eyes without life, and how...

Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more,.... The men of the world now see me with their bodily eyes, which is all the sight they have of me; and this they will be deprived of in a very little time; they will see me no more until the time that I shall come in the clouds of heaven to judge the world; and then every eye shall see me: but...

Because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my father, and ye in me, and I in you. This is something more for us to know.
