Wesley's Notes for John 12:49

12:47 I judge him not - Not now: for I am not come to judge the world. See, Christ came to save even them that finally perish! Even these are a part of that world, which he lived and died to save.

12:50 His commandment - Kept, is life everlasting - That is the way to it, and the beginning of it.
