John Chapter 15.

Hymn #40
We praise Thee, O God,
For the Son of Thy love,
For our Savior who died and
Is now gone above.

Chorus:
Hallelujah! Thine in glory,
Hallelujah! Amen;
Hallelujah! Thine the glory,
We praise Thee again.

We praise Thee, O God,
For Thy Spirit of light,
Who has shown us out Savior,
And scattered out night.

All glory and praise
To Thee, Father of love,
For throught Jesus' redemption
Thy heart we may prove.

We praise Thee again;
We are filled with Thy love,
And each heart is rekindled
With fire from above.

Chapter 15.
The vine and the Branches Bring an Organism to Glorify the Father by Expressing the Rishes of the Divine Life.

Footnotes I enjoyed in John 15:7 (says "If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you)

• When we abide in the Lord and let His words abide in us, we actually are one with Him, and He works within us. Then, when we ask in prayer for whatever we will, it is not only we who are praying; He too is praying, in our praying. This kind of prayer is related to fruit-bearing and will surely be answered.

Footnotes I enjoyed in John 15:8 (In this My Father glorifield, that you bear much fruit and so you will become My disciples)

• In fruit-bearing the Father's divine life is expressed; hence, He is glorifield!! ((:

Footnotes I enjoyed in John 15:11 (These things I have spoken to you that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be made full)

• Being branches of the divine vine and bearing fruit to express the divine life are matters of joy, and they also issue in a joyful life.

John 15:12 This is My commandment, that you love one another even as I have loved you.

John 15:15 No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all the things which I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

Footnotes I enjoyed in John 15:17 (These things I commant you that you may love one another)

• This is to love one another in the Lord's life, in the Lord's love, and in His commission of fruit-bearing. Life is the source, love is the condition, and fruit-bearing is the goal. If we all live by the Lord's life as the source, in the Lord's love as the condition, and for fruit-bearing as the goal, we surely will love one another. Having different goals will separate us and prevent us from loving one another
