Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 10:27-30.


John 10:29

_ _ My Father, which gave them me — (See on John 6:37-39).

_ _ is greater than all — with whom no adverse power can contend. It is a general expression of an admitted truth, and what follows shows for what purpose it was uttered, “and none is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand.” The impossibility of true believers being lost, in the midst of all the temptations which they may encounter, does not consist in their fidelity and decision, but is founded upon the power of God. Here the doctrine of predestination is presented in its sublime and sacred aspect; there is a predestination of the holy, which is taught from one end of the Scriptures to the other; not, indeed, of such a nature that an “irresistible grace” compels the opposing will of man (of course not), but so that that will of man which receives and loves the commands of God is produced only by God’s grace (Olshausen — a testimony all the more valuable, being given in spite of Lutheran prejudice).
