John 15 A
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit
What is:
The role of the Gardener/Vinedresser
We cannot do this without connection to (abiding in) Jesus.
What is:
BEAR FRUIT
The disciples already clean as a result of Jesus doing this____________
What is:
Because of the word I have spoken to you
Our relationship with Jesus changes from this to this
What is:
Servant to Friend
Another word for staying connected, resting in, dwelling or remaining
What is ABIDE
Jesus promises to make this complete in us
What is:
JOY?
This is the result when a believer does not abide in Jesus
What is:
He is thrown away like a branch, withers, is gathered and thrown into the fire to be burned
Under what condition are we Jesus’ friends?
If you do what I command
Jesus assures us that we are now his friends and no longer servants because he has done this.
What is:
"For all that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you"
Jesus gave this command multiple times
What is Love one another?
These 2 acts of Jesus resulted in conviction/guilt that leaves man without excuse
What is:
"If I had not come and spoken to them.."
Jesus makes the statement "Ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you" on the condition that we do these 2 things
What is:
"If you abide in me and my words abide in you"
Our joy will only be full because of this reason.
What is:
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you.
We learn that Jesus did the same thing for his disciples as we do when we go fruit shopping. This may also be telling us a little about predestination
What is:
You did not CHOSE me but I CHOSE you
He is spoken of and will be sent from the Father.
Who is the Spirit of Truth?
Jesus makes this statement to describe his relationship to God and his authenticity as our savior
What is:
I am the true vine, and my Father is the Vinedresser/Gardener.
Jesus tells us to do these 2 things by which the Father will be glorified.
What is:
"You bear much fruit and prove to be my disciples"
We learn that the greatest act/display of love demonstrated when a man does this.
What is:
Someone lay down his life for his friends
According to Jesus, as believers we should know that this is the reason the world will hate us.
What is:
"Know that it has hated me before it hated you"
Jesus spoke these words a fulfilment of what is written in their scriptures
What is 'They hated me without a cause'
