Lesson 4560

 (Lesson 4560)(07-28-24) John 15:8-12 

   “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” 

 

   The lesson in today’s quote conveys the importance of abiding in Jesus and keeping His commandments, particularly the commandment to love one another. Jesus taught that by working hard toward teaching His gospel, His disciples would glorify God and demonstrate their true discipleship. Jesus highlighted that the foundation of fruitfulness and obedience is love—just as He had loved them, they were to love each other. This mutual love is a reflection of the relationship between Jesus and the Father, and it is essential for maintaining the joy and spiritual well-being of His followers. Ultimately, the quote underscores the transformative power of living in accordance with Jesus' teachings and the centrality of love in the Christian life. ~
