Jn.15:1-4 – I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in …
Jn.15:18,19 – If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. …
John 15:9 – Amp. – I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [continue in His love with Me]. This verse sums up the Lord’s teaching on the Holy Spirit on that historic last night Jesus spent with His disciples. Today I want to look at several translations …
Jn.15:12,13 – This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. To me, this is the best of the best, I am called to be a friend of God. This comes as quite …

Jn.15:3 – every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. This is the verse I want to skip over. I don’t like that word, prunes. As a matter of fact I didn’t like that season when I lived among the vineyards in Central California. The grape fields had been so …
Jn.15:4 – Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
