Summary
When Jesus left the earth He gave His disciples an assignment. He said, "Go and do what I have been doing for these past 3 years - show the people who God is." And their response was, “How?” Well, He gives us the same assignment. And we, naturally, have the same question: "How do we go and do what Jesus did? How do we show others who God is?" In this message, Chip shares Jesus’ answer to both the disciples and to you.
Main PointsQuestion: How can we possibly love like Jesus did? Answer: John 15
The Promise: If anyone has faith in Me, he will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater works. - John 14:12
The Process: The metaphor of fruit-bearing for God
- Jesus is the true vine; we are the branches. - John 15:1
- The Father positions and prunes us for fruitfulness. - John 15:2-3
- Our sole responsibility is to abide. - John 15:4-6
- The consequences of abiding are fourfold. - John 15:7-11
The price and privilege of following Jesus:
- The impossible command. - John 15:12-14, 27
- The unimaginable reward. - John 15:15-17, 26
- The high cost of loyalty. - John 15:18-27
