John 15 - Introduction

The general subject still continues from John 13:31 Christ's love in keeping His own. This is still further set forth in this chapter in three main aspects: 1. Their union with Him, illustrated by the allegory of the Vine (1 11); 2. Their union with one another in Him(12 17); 3. The hatred of the world to both Him and them(18 25).
