180:2.2 " As [[the Father]] has loved me, so have I [[loved]] you. Live in my love even as I live in [[the Father]]'s love.

180:2.3 The [[Jews]] had long taught that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messianism the Messiah] would be " a stem arising out of the vine " of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidic_Line David's ancestors], and in [[commemoration]] of this olden teaching a large emblem of the grape and its attached vine decorated the entrance to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Temple Herod's temple]. [[The apostles]] all recalled these [[things]] while [[the Master]] talked to them this night in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cenacle upper chamber].

180:2.4 But great [[sorrow]] later attended the mis[[interpretation]] of [[the Master]]'s [[inferences]] regarding [[prayer]]. There would have been little [[difficulty]] about these [[teachings]] if his exact [[words]] had been remembered and subsequently truthfully [[recorded]]. But as the record was made, believers [[eventually]] regarded [[prayer]] in [[Jesus]]' [[name]] as a sort of [[supreme]] [[magic]], [[thinking]] that they would [[receive]] from [[the Father]] anything they asked for. For [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Christianity centuries] [[honest]] [[souls]] have continued to wreck their [[faith]] against this stumbling block. How long will it take the world of [[believers]] to [[understand]] that [[prayer]] is not a [[process]] of getting your way but rather a [[program]] of taking [[God]]'s way, an [[experience]] of [[learning]] how to [[recognize]] and [[execute]] [[the Father]]'s will? It is entirely true that, when your will has been truly [[aligned]] with his, you can ask anything [[conceived]] by that [[Free will|will]]-[[union]], and it will be granted. And such a will-union is [[effected]] by and through [[Jesus]] even as the life of the vine flows into and through the living branches.
