Bible Quote Dec 10th John 15:5,8

““I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”
John 15:5,8
===
John and Peter, of all the disciples had a special relationship with Jesus. Jesus even allowed them time to commune with Elijah and Moses. John writes in a particular style that is also evident in his letters and in Revelations. Earlier, John had written that Jesus was the Word made flesh. That flesh was sacrificed by God, as a gift to those whom God loved, so that God could abide them Because eternal life is close proximity to God. And to perish is to be utterly riven from God.

Here, Jesus challenges his disciples to a work ethic applied through faith. Without Jesus in your life, without guidance from a walk with the Word, one will not find wisdom or direction. The scene is the Last Supper. Jesus is giving final instructions.
