Devotional: John 15:1-11

Today’s passage: John 15:1-11

Helpful thoughts:

  • Israel was compared to a vine in the Old Testament (Isaiah 5:1-7).  Christ is the true vine that will not fail to bear fruit.
  • To abide in Christ is to continue in relationship with Him.  This would include prayer, meditating on the Scriptures, and fellowship with God’s people and it produces obedience and joy.
  • When Adam and Eve sinned, they saw that they were naked and they hid.  When God’s children obey, they have joy and walk in the light (1 John 1:7)

Questions to consider:

  1. Compare John 14:15 with 15:2.  What is true of those who say they love Jesus but do not obey (Bear fruit)?  What is true of those who show they love Jesus by bearing fruit?
  2. While pruning does not necessarily sound like an enjoyable experience, what emotion will it eventually produce (Verse 11)?
  3. If we are abiding in Christ and His words are abiding in us, what kinds of things are we going to wish to ask for?  How does verse 8 help us to answer that question?
