THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN - PART XVIII

THE ANALOGY OF THE VINE, THE COMMANDMENT OF LOVE,

THE OPPOSITION OF THE WORLD AND THE SENDING OF THE SPIRIT

I. As the Last Supper discourse continues, Jesus draws the analogy of Himself as the vine and the disciples as the branches, with the Father as the vine-dresser.

II. Jesus then goes to a related topic, the receipt of His love and the showing forth of that love to others.

III. Jesus then describes His disciples as in the world, but not of the world.
