Commentary on John 8:44
Christ's stark declaration that unbelieving Jews are 'of your father the devil' shocks modern readers but reveals spiritual paternity—children resemble their father. The devil is a 'murderer from the beginning' (referencing Cain and ultimately all death through sin) and the 'father of lies'. This establishes two families: God's children who love truth, and Satan's children who embrace lies. The harsh language shows the seriousness of rejecting Christ.
