Again, the great test now is Christ's words abiding in us. WebAnd I said, Lord, Ill go! He will cover you with His pinions,And under His wings you may seek refuge;His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. Again, He said, "Now, I've ordained that whatsoever ye should ask the Father in My name, He may give it to you." I am the vine, the true, and My Father is now the husbandman." And this is the way I want you to love one another, with a self-sacrificing, giving love, where you will lay down your life for each other. Why? And I heard the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, even a great rumbling sound. Hence He speaks of that which pertains to a disciple on the earth; and accordingly the Lord speaks of having Himself kept His Father's commandments, and of His own abiding in His love; for, indeed, He had ever been here below the dependent man, to whom the Father was the moral source of the life He lived; and so He would have us now to live because of Himself. (Verses 8, 9) It was evidence; and there is no moral value in accepting on evidence. Here was the practice and the custom which made all men feel that they were part of Rome, and which guaranteed their loyalty to her. The fire was bright, and lightning was flashing from the fire. $127.50, $150.00 That's alright, Lord! Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and two covering their bodies. Put the trumpet to your lips!Like an eagle the enemy comes against the house of the Lord,Because they have transgressed My covenantAnd rebelled against My law. To take the simplest example, the holiday-maker might be praying for sunshine while the farmer is praying for rain. But the fact that He brings up the prospect means that there is that possibility. Here Jesus used the vine metaphorically of Himself. But there are many--maybe they are in the majority--who never have this mystical experience. And this is the fruit that God is seeking from His garden, from the church. Perhaps here is an allusion to the law concerning vineyards in Canaan; the fruit of them was as unclean, and uncircumcised, the first three years after it was planted, and the fourth year it was to be holiness of praise unto the Lord; and then it was clean, Leviticus 19:23; Leviticus 19:24. This the disciples thought they saw distinctly; but they were mistaken: their words do not rise higher than "We believe that thou camest forth from God." But, besides, we have His direct immediate action among the disciples. From a vine we look for grapes (Isaiah 5:2), and from a Christian we look for Christianity; this is the fruit, a Christian temper and disposition, a Christian life and conversation, Christian devotions and Christian designs. Some think this refers primarily to Judas. Because I have tried to do so many things on my own and failed. the stork, and the heron in their kinds, and the hoopoe and the bat. I start out as I receive Jesus Christ. The Christian that really prizes the word of God in the Old Testament would still more set his heart on that in the New. Nowadays a man can be persecuted even for working too hard or too long. But they know not the Father nor the Son. That's why the Lord doesn't promise happiness; it might not last. The first face was the face of a cherub, the second face was the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. But when he kicked over the traces and went off on his own, he fell. (45% off). He again exhorts them to be earnest and careful in keeping the grace which they had received, for the carelessness of the flesh can never be sufficiently aroused. "And if God spared not the natural branches, but cut them off, take heed, lest He not spare us" ( Romans 11:21 ). As for the form of their faces, each had the face of a man; all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and all four had the face of an eagle. Not because you're just an obnoxious person. There was a tradesman who had a little shop; in the back room he kept a photograph of Robertson, for he was his hero and his inspiration. which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me ( John 15:26 ): Look how it's just intertwined. This will differ depending on what options are available for the item. There is a real individual work in those, yea, in all brought to God. Who would desire an unreal thing the keeping up an appearance, the parade of words and sentiments beyond the heart's state? Christians were indeed persecuted because of the name of Christ. And so, it was always even a somber voice, "Gooood mor-ning bre-thren. "Thou didst bring a vine out of Egypt," sang the Psalmist, thinking of God's deliverance of his people from bondage ( Psalms 80:8). They are worse even than before. Jesus did not here elaborate the means by which one is brought into such a sacred relationship with himself; but the New Testament leaves no doubt of how this comes about. Believing the word of God has moral value, because it gives God credit for truth. Therefore, they could be assured of the Spirits help as they witnessed to Jesus during the difficult time that lay ahead (John 15:26-27; cf. and as lovely as the vine covered with fruitful branches is at once useful and enticing. A few words, however, may perhaps give the general outline. (Ver. (iii) Christian witness issues in outward testimony. But it has all happened that the word which stands written in their law might be fulfilled--'They have hated me without a cause.'". Jesus described His relationship with believers as more or less intimate depending on their love and obedience to Him (John 14:23-24). (Verse 11) In John we have the truth, without waiting for what will be manifest. Abiding in Christ is necessary in order to our doing much good. (a) I make, manufacture, construct, (b) I do, act, cause. The church, which is Christ mystical, is a vine (Psalms 80:8), so is Christ, who is the church seminal. )." Canvas and Posters have many different sizes. I entreat any who have misread this chapter to examine thoroughly what I am now urging on my hearers. Unless you're abiding in Him, you cannot bear fruit of yourself. Of course, loving one's neighbour abides always, but this, no matter how accomplished, ought not to be enough for a disciple of Christ. Over and over again in the Old Testament, Israel is pictured as the vine or the vineyard of God. So luxuriant is it that the slips are set in the ground at least twelve feet apart, for it will creep over the ground at speed. The friends of the king were those who had the closest and the most intimate connection with him. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." When a joke was told and they would all be laughing, she would laugh louder than all the rest. If you're not bearing fruit, cut off. On John 17:1-26 I must be brief, though its treasures might well invite one to devote ample space to weigh them. The law remains, and the Spirit of God often employs it, specially if a man be in self-righteousness. Another thing comes in after this. God must, in the judgment of our sins, forsake Him, but He would never forsake God. Nevertheless, He was to be pierced. "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name" And here, "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth,". The branches then should make a deliberate effort (indicated by the imperative verb "abide") to maintain a close personal relationship to the true vine. In John 20:1-31 is the resurrection, and this in a remarkable light. And he that saw it bare record.". This he proceeds to illustrate by a reference to the vine. The rest of the chapter, without entering into minute points, shows that the Lord, about to leave the disciples, would give them a taste of joy a testimony of what will be. The wing of the other cherub, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house; and its other wing of five cubits was attached to the wing of the first cherub. And yet, you ask them, "Why do hate Jesus so much?" Now over the heads of the living beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal, spread out over their heads. 2Cor 12:9 But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christs power may rest on me. Jacob fled from Canaan when his twin brother, Esau, threatened to kill him. Twenty years later, Jacob was returning. The night before he crossed th And our Lord had the wisest reason for making known to the disciples what they had to expect. But, "In His presence," the Bible says, "is fullness of joy, and at His right hand there are pleasures forevermore" ( Psalms 16:11 ). Here Christ discourses concerning the fruit, the fruits of the Spirit, which his disciples were to bring forth, under the similitude of a vine. The fruitfulness of all Christians, in a lower or narrower sphere, is to the glory of God. And later on, when Peter stood up before the assembled disciples, he said, "It is important that we choose one of us who has been with Christ from the beginning, that we might choose him to take Judas's place, who by his transgression and has gone to his own place. Great! [4.] It is more of an extended metaphor similar to the shepherd and sheepfold metaphors in chapter 10. Do they pat me on the back and say I'm doing a good job? Such a demand was right and seasonable for a man in the flesh for a Jew especially; but it could not suffice for the heart of a Christian, and, in fact, he who denies this, quarrels with the Lord's own words. Christ is the true light. The wheels were called in my hearing, the whirling wheels. In order to prove that he did not begin the work of our salvation for the purpose of leaving it imperfect in the middle of the course, he promises that his Spirit will always be efficacious in us, if we do not prevent him. Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and beneath their wings was the form of human hands. Some apply men's gathering them to the ministry of the angels in the great day, when they shall gather out of Christ's kingdom all things that offend, and shall bundle the tares for the fire. In the reign of Nero came the disastrous fire which devastated Rome and it was easy to connect it with people who preached of the consuming fire which would destroy the world. For some few of us, abiding in Christ will be a mystical experience which is beyond words to express. We talk about the Lord's prayer. When we pray, we must ask, not only: "Is this for my good?" Those who are abiding in Him and those who have the Word of God abiding in them. And the little boy dies, you know, with a smile on his face. "Now you are clean, through the Word which I have spoken unto you.". Of those that were disciples He named twelve of them apostles, but there were many others that were following Him. If that man disregards the diagnosis and refuses to use the cure, he has no one to blame but himself if he dies, or comes to a condition which makes life wretched for himself. But the day is coming when there will be the knowledge and the sight of glory in the earth. and in thy name done many wonderful works? Christian faith is essentially believing on Him that we have not seen: believing, "we walk by faith, not by sight." 9) It is all a question of the Father's government and the disciples' responsibility; not of a people having to do with a governor nationally, as Jehovah was to Israel, but of Christ's disciples in relation with the Father, according to the revelation of Himself in Christ. Now, I was encouraged to choose Jesus. And so, I begin to pray that the Lord will start working here and working there, and put this together, put this together; and I'm directing God on just how to work out my problems.Now, oftentimes as I am praying, I am not offering to God direct prayers. Who was Jesus thinking of when he spoke of the fruitless branches? God has chosen us in Christ before the foundations of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him in love, bringing Him forth this fruit that He desires. For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim made a covering over the ark and its poles from above. The best of the world, therefore, the choicest and most divinely privileged of men, have turned out the most guilty. I also heard the sound of their wings like the sound of abundant waters as they went, like the voice of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of an army camp; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings. It is not a question of a Messianic link to get what they wanted, but they would be able to ask the Father in His name themselves. Though attached to it, they receive no life from it. They lose themselves thus. But the fact is clear, that the Holy Ghost is sent down; as it is also clear, that the Holy Ghost, being here, convicts the world i.e., what is outside where He is. Within it there were figures resembling four living beings. And I will abide in you-ye shall receive every help and influence from me that your souls can require, in order to preserve and save them to eternal life. HalliesCollectibles. Abraham was the friend of God ( Isaiah 41:8). Those that abide not in Christ shall be abandoned by him; they are left to themselves, to fall into scandalous sin, and then are justly cast out of the communion of the faithful. He has shared his mind with us, and opened his heart to us. The earlier section laid His person and His work as the ground for His being glorified on high, according to the title of the one, and in the accomplishment of the other. As I have no doubt there is a significance typically in what we have just glanced at, so it appears to me with regard to this also. Why? Hence, Christianity awaits not only Christ's coming, but the accomplishment of His work, and also the mission and personal presence of the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, consequent on that work. The Christian is the man of joy, the laughing cavalier of Christ. (Verses 23-26) Hitherto they had asked nothing in His name. The gospels do not trace the steps of Jesus. Some unifying force had to be found to weld this varied mass into one; and it was found in Caesar worship. It is true that there is a mystical sense in which the Christian is in Christ and Christ is in the Christian. That is what the Jews had done. And my hand reached to the riches of the peoples like a nest,And as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth;And there was not one that flapped its wing or opened its beak or chirped.. tired of carrying on the profession of Christ along with indulged evil; nor would God allow it to go beyond a certain point as an ordinary rule. They have authority from God to retain or to remit sins not at all as a question of eternal forgiveness, but administratively or in discipline. Suppose a man to be ill; suppose he consults a doctor, and the doctor diagnoses what is wrong and prescribes a cure. First, he exposed sin. We can witness for Christ only when we have been with him. From basileus; properly, royalty, i.e. And I think, "Oh, God doesn't listen to me when I pray. He had before Him with perfect distinctness all the truth of God. And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go, without turning as they went. But there was no attraction of heart, no power of faith, and consequently no dependence on Christ; and this is the Lord's sentence pronounced on all such, whether in that day or in any other. We are not to take that with a crude literalism, because it would simply mean that if you can mobilize enough people to pray for anything you will get it. If we come to it thoughtlessly, it sounds as if the Christian will receive everything for which he prays. The only lasting fruit is that which is produced as the result of the relationship with Jesus Christ. The church becomes the instrument of God to bear God's fruit in the world today. THE VINE AND THE BRANCHES ( John 15:1-10 continued). "I," He says, "am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman." It is here that Jesus makes another of his great claims. But we need to replace him in the board of twelve here. Divine life depends on connection with the true vine by exercising saving faith in Him, but fruitfulness depends on abiding in the vine by exercising loving obedience toward Him. And He appeared on the wings of the wind. "Paul, a bondslave of Jesus Christ, by the will of Christ" "Jude, a bondslave" "Peter, a bondslave" "James, a bondslave" And though the Lord said, "I'm calling you friends," yet there was that awareness and consciousness that true life is only discovered when I submitted totally to Him, to serve Him.Now Jesus declares. And God knew the end results of this man's life, as God knows us. "This is my body which is for you." Prayer is consenting to God and to the will of God, for Him to do those things that He is wanting to do. Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubim. Here Jesus has returned to a thought which in the Fourth Gospel is never far from his mind, the conviction that knowledge and privilege bring with them responsibility. "That my joy might remain in you and that your joy may be full. Evidently this is a capital truth, bearing powerfully on the nature of the Christian's prayers, as well as on his worship. $28.54, $51.90 At all times they had access to the king: they had even the right to come to his bedchamber at the beginning of the day. In the close ofJohn 16:25-33; John 16:25-33, the Lord puts, with perfect plainness, both their coming position in His name, and as immediate objects of the Father's affection, and His own place as coming from and going to the Father, above all promise and dispensation. And as I abide in Him, then I begin to bring forth much fruit. For He is come here to glorify the Son, just as the Son, when here, was glorifying the Father. It is exactly what accounts for the fact, that we are here on ground quite different from that of the precious and blessed form of prayer which the Lord gave His disciples when they wanted to know how to pray, as John taught his disciples. Rather He presented our relationship to Him much more realistically, namely, as having a more or less intimate relationship. It is still possible for us to do the same. All the winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you. Anyone who is different, who wears different clothes, who has different ideas, is automatically suspect. You have the words of life." The verbal assurance doesn't mean much unless there are deeds, and the deeds don't mean much unless there are words. As for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel. (a) Prayer must be the prayer of faith ( James 5:15). But when the husbandmen saw the son coming, they said, "Look, this is the son and the heir. (20% off), Sale Price $14.99 These people get all hung up on eternal security and all. So, at that point, they left the upper room. Still, in the one case it is the Father who sends; in the other, the Son; and this last, where the point is to show the new glory of Christ above. But He does not permit her to touch Him. We should do this not because failure to do so will result in our losing the life of God that we possess. And therein is the big issue in this verse, and the thing that you want to take note of. The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings and facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the mercy seat. In Wis_7:27 Wisdom is said to make men the friends of God. Without Christ we can do nothing aright, nothing that will be fruit pleasing to God or profitable to ourselves, 2 Corinthians 3:5. - Christianity, Islam & Judaism all agree Gods word to creation was free will. This means, per their religious dogma, they must provide a cite of But then, there is also that cultivating of those branches that are bearing fruit. Don't judge God too quickly. (John 19:1-42) Here, too, He answers Pilate, after scourging and mockery, "Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin." In John 14:26, it was said, "The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." The pax Romana, the Roman peace, stretched over all the world. Then faith saw underneath the veil of flesh this deeper glory. And finally, one day he said, "Lord, I've been praying so long for a bicycle. A human being. But the husbandmen that he had left in charge of the vineyard beat the servants and sent them away empty. It is more the Holy Ghost coming than sent here; that is, the Holy Ghost is looked at not certainly as acting independently, but yet as a distinct person. To John it is, "Stand thou on that side, for on this am I.". He was thinking of Christians whose Christianity consisted of profession without practice, words without deeds; he was thinking of Christians who were useless branches, all leaves and no fruit. $2.51, $5.01 Thus, whatever the blessing through the Lord's ministry, there was certainly an advance here foreshown, founded on redemption, resurrection, and the Spirit given. It's an abiding joy. We must discriminate in the love of Christ. What a return for these wondrous communications of Christ, just to slip over them perfunctorily, without making the light our own! Abide see note on John 14:2; = remain, continue to reside, cf Colossians 2:6. The Old Testament alone would not suffice. I mean, there's no value to you. For Permission to Quote Information visit http://www.lockman.org. They sin against men (cf. We can understand this: nothing is more natural; but, for that very reason, it was not all in the power of the Spirit of God, with Christ as the first object. (John 3:16-17) But here the ground is different. However, He also used it to describe the intimate relationship that those who have exercised saving faith need to cultivate with God (John 8:31). But it is interesting how many people are unreasonable in their hatred for Jesus. It is not outward corporeal presence on earth, but a greater nearness, though He is ascended to heaven, because of the power of the Holy Ghost. If they kept my word, they will keep yours. they and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, all sorts of birds. and the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl. Indeed, the apostle Paul is the chronicler of the fact to us, that his prayers were not always in this communion. This is not a parable in the Synoptic sense since there is no plot. Like flying birds so the Lord of hosts will protect Jerusalem.He will protect and deliver it;He will pass over and rescue it. You know how it's all going to work out, you know what the end result is. If none could take His life unless He laid it down, so none could take Him prisoner unless He gave Himself up. It is incalculable the quantity of scripture that is passed over without distinct exercise of faith. This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you" ( Matthew 5:11-12 ). Jesus gave men a commandment which he had himself first fulfilled. That I might realize that apart from Jesus, I can do nothing. The meaning is, that He shall not speak of His own authority, as if He had nothing to do with the Father and the Son. (4.) What makes it the more remarkable is the contrast with Mary Magdalene in the previous verses, who is the type of the Christian taken out of Judaism, and no longer admitted to Jewish contact with the Messiah, but witnesses of Him in ascension. Whenever we try to turn prayer into something to enable us to realize our own ambitions and to satisfy our own desires, it must be ineffective, for it is not real prayer at all. He who hates me hates the Father too. And if it doesn't do that, it really isn't good for anything else; it's not good firewood. We can accept him as Master, and then, in face of the difficulties of the way or the desire to do as we like, abandon him. And he said, "Wouldn't you like to go through the sinners prayer?" It likes a pattern; it likes to be able to label a person and to put him in a pigeon-hole. These are the living beings that I saw beneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar; so I knew that they were cherubim. (Ver. And so, we are told not to love the world, but we are also being told here that the world isn't going to love us. Unconditionally, of pure grace, He loved them that were His. We then evidence that we are cleansed by the word when we bring forth fruit unto holiness. 1 John 4:7-8 - " He who does not love does If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have picked you out of the world. Try using a different browser or disabling ad blockers. Hebrews 13:2 Do not forget to show When one of the citizens was asked why he had voted for his banishment, he answered: "Because I am tired of hearing him always called the Just." Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." And God's love begins to pour forth through my life to touch the lives of those around me. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. In John 14:1-31 it is evidently the Father giving another Comforter to the disciples, and sending Him in Christ's name: Christ is looked at there as One who prays, and whose value acts for the disciples. The necessity of our abiding in Christ, in order to our fruitfulness (John 15:4; John 15:5): "You cannot bring forth fruit, except you abide in me; but, if you do, you bring forth much fruit; for, in short, without me, or separate from me, you can do nothing." Christ is ever the test, and this the close declares, as much as the beginning sets Him forth as the only power of preparing for, and producing fruit. This hatred every true witness, without compromise, and separate from the world, must more or less experience.
