João 3
Ellicott - Part of the current belief (OF THE JEWS OF JESUS' DAY) about the Messiah’s advent was, that he would destroy the Gentile world. The authorised expositions of many texts of the Old Testament asserted this, and Nicodemus must ofttimes have heard it and taught it. God’s love for, and gift to, the world has just been declared. This truth runs counter to their belief, and is now stated as an express denial of it. (Commentary) Merrill Tenney - God’s purpose toward man is positive. God’s attitude is not that of suspicion or hatred but of love. He is not seeking an excuse to condemn men but is rather endeavoring to save them. His purpose in sending Jesus into the world was to show his love and to draw men to himself. If they are lost, it is because they have not committed themselves to God, the only source of life. (Borrow The Expositor's Bible Commentary) J C

Ellicott - The office of the paranymph ceases to exist when the marriage is accomplished. It must be so. So too in the interpretation. His own work was well-nigh done, but he is filled with the joy of having done his work, not with disappointment that it pales before the brightness of the work which is to follow. This is the text of the Forerunner’s life. Well will it be for those followers of Christ whose lives shall be sermons on it! (Ref) D A Carson - In short, John says, He must become greater; I must become less. The ‘must’ (dei) is nothing less than the determined will of God. John finds his joy, not in grudgingly conceding victory to a superior opponent, but in wholeheartedly embracing God’s will, and the supremacy it assigns to Jesus. A great deal of later Christian piety has turned on the same truth. (Borrow The Gospel according to John, 212) Leon

Ellicott - Earlier disciples, as Andrew and John (John 1:40), had passed from the Forerunner to the Great Teacher, and had heard in His words that which went to the divine in their own spirits, and had come from the short first meeting with the conviction, “We have found the Messias.” Leon

Ellicott - The Rabbis seem to have applied the phrase to prophets and teachers, saying that the Spirit dwelt in the prophets only in a certain measure. Comp. 2 Ki 2:9, where Elisha prays for “a double portion,” or, more exactly, a portion of two—the portion of the first-born son (Deuteronomy 21:17)—of the spirit of Elijah. The same thought meets us in St. Paul (himself a pupil of Gamaliel), who speaks of “the self-same Spirit dividing to every man severally as He will” (see 1 Cor 12:4-12). The opposite of this thought, then, is before us here. God gives in this case not as in others. The Son who cometh from above is above all. There is no gift of prophet, or of teacher, which is not given to Him. He has the fulness of the spiritual gifts which in part are given to men, and He speaks the very words of God. It will be noted that John is still expounding to his disciples the meaning of his own declaration, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:35 "The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.

John 3 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand - Loves is present tense obviously speaking of continual love of the Father for the Son. John has just stated that God gives the Spirit without measure, and this passage undergirds the certainty of that truth. The Father loves Jesus and withholds nothing from Him. In Mt 11:27 (Lk 10:22+) Jesus declared "All things have been handed over to Me by My Father." Has given is in the perfect tense which speaks of the permanence of this divine transaction. "This is an extremely interesting phrase and has numerous parallels (cf. John 13:3; 17:2; Matt. 11:27; 28:18; Eph. 1:20–22; Col. 2:10; 1 Pet. 3:22)." (Utley) "Jesus makes the same claim in Jn 5:19–30; Matt. 11:27; 28:18." (Robertson)
