Jesus’ Instructions for Joy... John 15 Jesus tells us that He's the true vine, we’re the branches. He “prunes" us so that we can bear more fruits of the spirit. He instructs us to follow His word, love each other and remain in Him. He reminds us that apart from Him we can't do anything. He tells us if we remain in Him we will bear fruit, have His word in us, and that God will be glorified through us. He tells us how much He loves us and asks us to stay with that love! Just as God loved Jesus, Jesus tells us of how he loves us. He tells us to bask in that love! In verse 11 He tells us “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete” This is not just having Joy. Jesus says He says His joy is in us. He gets Joy from watching us remain in His love and grow. And He tells us, through our obedience and a willingness to stick near Him our Joy will be COMPLETE! Imagine, having Joy that is complete no matter what is going on in our lives! What an awesome gift to us! Thank you God!
