Commentaries and Concordances
PNT: 15:11 These things have I spoken... that my joy may remain in you. Strange words, that one about to be crucified should speak of his joy! His joy was union with and presence of the Father. He had anointed him with the oil of gladness above his fellows (Ps 45:7). He desired his disciples to have that joy, the constant consolation of the sense of the presence of Christ.
WES: 15:11 That my joy might remain in you - The same joy which I feel in loving the Father, and keeping his commandments.
MHC: 15:9-17 Those whom God loves as a Father, may despise the hatred of all the world. As the Father loved Christ, who was most worthy, so he loved his disciples, who were unworthy. All that love the Saviour should continue in their love to him, and take all occasions to show it. The joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment, but the joy of those who abide in Christ's love is a continual feast. They are to show their love to him by keeping his commandments. If the same power that first shed abroad the love of Christ's in our hearts, did not keep us in that love, we should not long abide in it. Christ's love to us should direct us to love each other. He speaks as about to give many things in charge, yet names this only; it includes many duties.
