<p>It’s hard to lose someone you love, someone who has been your mentor and provider. Jesus comforts his disciples before he goes.</p>
<p><span id="more-2603"></span></p>
<p><strong><span class="scripture_reference" refid="205.532487">John 16:1-16</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Persecution will come</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>1. Don’t let persecution cause you to stumble in your faith</li>
<li>2. Those who persecute you will think that they are working for God</li>
<li>3. They persecute you in the name of God but they don’t know God</li>
<li>4. I want you to remember these words when the persecution comes</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The Holy Spirit will come</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>5-7. I must go away so that the Comforter can come to you</li>
<li>8-11. He will reprove the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Sin because they don’t believe in me; righteousness because I am going to my Father; and judgment because evil will be judged.</li>
<li>12-14. He will teach you many things that I cannot teach you now.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Jesus will come</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>15-16. Yes, I am going to the Father; but you will see me.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>“I am the true vine”</h1>
<p>Jesus often taught truth in metaphorical language.</p>
<p><strong><span class="scripture_reference" refid="428.597994">John 15:1-8</span></strong></p>
<p><span id="more-2594"></span></p>
<p>1. Think about what has just happened. After the Passover meal, Jesus gave bread and wine to his disciples. He also announced that he would not drink any more of the fruit of the vine until his kingdom had been established. And now he declares that HE is the true vine. Can we not see that he is teaching that the symbolism of the Passover vine is fulfilled in him?</p>
<p>2. Two groups of souls are represented in this metaphor—a. branches that bear fruit, and b. branches that do not bear fruit.</p>
<p>3. These two groups have two very different ends—a. fruitful branches are cleansed, and b. fruitless branches are destroyed.</p>
<p>4. See <span class="scripture_reference" refid="38.610528">John 13:10-11</span>. Throughout the Gospel of John men are viewed as being in one of two groups: those who receive Christ, and those who do not; those who have the light and those who do not. The two groups are similar in their familiarity with Christ, but they arrive at opposite ends.</p>
<p><strong><span class="scripture_reference" refid="431.618289">John 15:9-15</span></strong></p>
<p>1. Holy living goes hand in hand with enjoying the love of Christ.</p>
<p>2. Loving others sacrificially is the ultimate love.</p>
<p>3. What a friend we have in Jesus.</p>
