  2. Encourage diligence in yourRead the Bible Through in a YearToday’s reading is Numbers 4-6; So far this year: Gen-Lev + JobThe book of Numbers is critical to the understanding of the New Testament; not only prophetically and theologically, but as used in illustrations drawn from biblical history.The book of Numbers is worthy of very carefully reading.

  3. John 15:1 "I am the true (real) vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.Note: Purpose (The objective for which the action was taken) is fruit bearing, not existence.

  4. John 15:3 You are already made clean by the word (logos) which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you.Note: Something has already happened…’a cleaning event’; now the admonition is to stick to it,-live in it, -’abide’.

  5. (Note Hebraic parallelisms)John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

  6. John 15:6 If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.

  7. John 15:7 If you abide in me, and (not a parallelism)my words abide in you, ask (partnership) whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.

  8. (note the parallelisms)John 15: 9As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

  9. John 15:11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
