“Let not your heart be troubled,” said the Lord Jesus Christ to them. This proves the diversity which exists in the experiences of the children of God, and at the same time their blessed oneness of heart in reference to the great and glorious Head, as their Saviour from all sin, their Comforter in all sorrow, and their Deliverer out of all trouble. Yes, they were of one mind, of one heart, yet there was a diversity in the exercises of their spirits. Their sorrows were their claims upon his sympathy, and their pleas for those words of consolation which flow from his grace-filled lips to their oppressed and weary hearts. Their sins, felt and mourned over, were so many calls upon his grace, and for the display of his saving power. Their forgetfulness was an opportunity for the manifestation of the condescension of the covenant Remembrancer. Their failings were so many opportunities for the display of the rich and unfailing grace of Jesus. We have a little bit of encouragement in the revelation of these things this morning. He who had sanctified them and they the sanctified were all of one, therefore, he was not ashamed to call them brethren, bear with their ignorance, pity their infirmities, and keep them company to the bitter end. They had one heart (Jeremiah 32:39), and were all of one mind, which was fixed on one Object. He saw that sorrow and trouble filled their heart, not hearts. Our blessed Lord and Master was bidding farewell to his beloved disciples. We will first of all notice the circumstances surrounding the text. Sins, a long time forgotten, are brought to light, and grievous offences, which apparently had passed away from the memory forever, reappear in intensified enormity but, blessed be God, they are discovered in the best of all spots, even in the presence of him with whom elect and redeemed ones have to do, at the feet of the best, the kindest, and the most patient of all teachers, who never wearies in repeating his gracious lessons for the instruction and consolation of his poor dull scholars, and for his Father’s glory.

In the failures and follies, weaknesses and ignorances of those dear ones whom the Lord Jesus Christ had special regard to, the child of God sees and feels his own. To the living child of God, when guided by the blessed Spirit into an intelligent apprehension of the circumstances surrounding the text, much that is profitable and much that is painful appears. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” “Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and It sufficeth us.
