ヨハネの福音書 15:7-9 JCB

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:7

Verse 7 7.If you abide in me. Believers often feel that they are starved, and are very far from that rich fatness which is necessary for yielding abundant fruit. For this reason it is expressly added, whatever those who are in Christ may need, there is a remedy provided for their poverty, as soon as they ask it from God. This is a very useful admonition; for the Lord often suffers us to hunger, in order to train us to earnestness in prayer. But if we fly to him, we shall never want what we ask,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:8

Verse 8 8.In this my Father is glorified This is a confirmation of the former statement; for he shows that we ought not to doubt that God will listen to the prayers of his people, when they desire to be rendered fruitful; for this contributes very greatly to his glory. But by this end or effect he likewise kindles in them the desire of doing good; for there is nothing which we ought to value more highly than that the name of God may be glorified by us. To the same effect is the latter clause,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:9

Verse 9 9.As the Father hath loved me. He intended to express something far greater than is commonly supposed; for they who think that he now speaks of the sacred love of God the Father, which he always had towards the Son, philosophize away from the subject; for it was rather the design of Christ to lay, as it were, in our bosom a sure pledge of God’s love towards us. That abstruse inquiry, as to the manner in which the Father always loved himself in the Son, has nothing to do with the present... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 15:1-8

The vine and the branches. This discourse of our Lord had relation to the new position of the disciples that would be created by his departure. I. THE NATURE OF THE NEW SITUATION CREATED BY PENTECOST . "I am the true vine, and my Father is the Husbandman." 1. Christ is the true and essential Life of his people . He lives in his people by his Spirit. He is at once the Root and the Stock from which the branches derive their sap and nourishment. 2. The... read more

The vine and the branches. If these words were spoken in the house, they may have been suggested by a creeping, Clinging vine trained against the wall; if upon the footpath, by the vineyards on the slope of Olivet; if in the temple, by the golden vine wrought upon the gates. I. THE VINE IN ITSELF IS A SUITABLE EMBLEM OF CHRIST . Its beauty, as planted, trained, or trellised; its grateful shade; its fruit, whether fresh and luscious or dried; its wine," that maketh... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 15:1-10

(7) The parable of the vine and its branches . Incorporation of the disciples into one personality with himself . The image of the vine may have been suggested by some visible object. Either of the hypotheses of place would furnish a reminder of the nature and culture of the vine. Thus around the windows of the guest-chamber the vine may have thrown its tendrils, or on the slopes of Olivet the vineyards may have been prominent objects, or the burning heaps of vine-prunings may have... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 15:5-8

The union of Christ and believers. Notice this union— I. IN ITS NATURE AND SOME OF ITS LEADING FEATURES . 1. It is spiritual It is not physical and material, neither is it based on the same principles as the unions of this world, which are carnal and corrupt; but the principles of this union are spiritual, such as love, faith, and hope. It is the union of the human with the Divine, the spirit of man with the great Father of spirits—the union of life with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 15:7

In this verse he returns once more on the principle of union with himself, and of what will come out of it. The disciples may be sorely distressed at this possible doom, for whatever may be the lot of those who do not obey the gospel and are ignorant of the Law of God, the curse here uttered fails heavily upon those who have been once enlightened, etc., and have apostatized ( Hebrews 6:4-6 ). The anxiety of the apostles ]s grievous, and they desire deliverance from this doom. And our Lord... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 15:8

Here the Lord shows what he knows will be and must be the dominant desire of the man who abides in himself, in whom his own word abides. Such a man will seek, yearn, ask, that he should bear much fruit . This prayer will be heard, and in this sublime synthesis between Christ and his disciples, says Christ, was my Father glorified . "In the fruitfulness of the vine is the glory of the husbandman," and in the answer of your prayers, and the regulation of all your desires, so ye shall... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 15:9

Two ways of explaining this verse: Even as—inasmuch as—the Father hath loved me , and as I have loved you , abide in my love ; i.e. , as Grotius has put it, the first clause suggesting accordance with the mystery of the Trinity, and the second the mystery of redemption: "So do ye continue, or so do ye abide, in the amplitude of this double love which is mine, dwell in it as in a holy atmosphere, breathe it and live by it." But there is another and more satisfactory way of translating... read more
