Whoever has My commandments The phrase "has My commandments" implies possession and understanding of Jesus' teachings. The Greek word for "has" is "ἔχει" (echei), which denotes not just physical possession but an internalization and acceptance. In the historical context, Jesus' commandments are not merely rules but a way of life that reflects His teachings and character. This phrase emphasizes the importance of knowing and embracing the teachings of Christ as foundational to the Christian faith. and keeps them is the one who loves Me The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father and I will love him and reveal Myself to him He it is that loveth me.--The next step is the special receptivity of the Father's love which he who loves Christ possesses, and therefore there is a special sense in which the Father loves him. The words express with fulness of emphasis, "He it is, and he only." And I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.--The special love of the Son follows from the special love of the Father, and is accompanied by the full manifestation of the Son. This is further explained in John 14:23. Verse 21. - Then for a moment he turns from the eleven, and stretches out his searching gaze and far-sweeping love to every one who hath my commandments as a sure possession and lofty privilege and sufficient standard, and keepeth them, thus proving that he it is that loveth me; returning thus back to Ver. 15, where he said that love would induce and ought to compel to obedience; and he adds another and wonderful benediction: He will be loved by my Father, in a sense more intense than that in which God is said to love the world (John 3:16). God the Father loves those who love the Son, i.e. love the object of his own superlative affection. But who can this wondrous Being be who adds, as a climax of privilege and honor, as though it were more even than the love of the Father, I will love him, and will manifest myself in him (not ἀποκαλύψω or φανερώσω), not merely "disclose an undiscovered presence" or make evident a hidden glory, but I will take special means to disclose my Person and nature and goodness to him? Christ will do this to those who have and keep his commandments of self-forgetting love and perfect consecration. This remarkable word, ἐμφανίσω, implies that the scene and place of the higher manifestation will be "in" (ἐν) the consciousness of the soul.
