==180:1. THE NEW COMMANDMENT==

180:1.1 After a few [[moments]] of informal [[conversation]], [[Jesus]] stood up and said: " When I enacted for you a [[parable]] indicating how you should be willing to [[serve]] one another, I said that I [[desired]] to give you a [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Commandment new commandment]; and I would do this now as I am about to leave you. You well know the commandment which directs that you [[love]] one another; that you love your [[neighbor]] even as yourself. But I am not wholly [[satisfied]] with even that [[sincere]] [[devotion]] on the part of my [[children]]. I would have you [[perform]] still greater [[acts]] of [[love]] in [[the kingdom]] of the [[believing]] brotherhood. And so I give you this [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Commandment new commandment]: That you [[love]] one another even as I have loved you. And by this will all men know that you are my [[disciples]] if you thus [[love]] one another.[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_john#Chapter_13]

==180:2. THE VINE AND THE BRANCHES==

−

180:2.1 Then [[Jesus]] stood up again and continued [[teaching]] his [[apostles]]: " I am the [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vine true vine], and [[the Father|my Father]] is the husbandman. I am the vine, and you are the branches. And [[the Father]] requires of me only that you shall bear much [[Fruits of the Spirit|fruit]]. The vine is pruned only to increase the fruitfulness of its branches. Every branch coming out of me which bears no fruit, [[the Father]] will take away. Every branch which bears fruit, [[the Father]] will cleanse that it may bear more fruit. Already are you clean through the [[word]] I have [[spoken]], but you must continue to be clean. You must abide in me, and I in you; the branch will die if it is [[separated]] from the vine. As the branch cannot bear fruit except it abides in the vine, so neither can you yield the fruits of loving [[service]] except you abide in me. [[Remember]]: I am the [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vine real vine], and you are the living branches. He who lives in me, and I in him, will bear much [[fruit of the spirit]] and [[experience]] the [[supreme]] [[joy]] of yielding this [[spiritual]] [[harvest]]. If you will [[maintain]] this living spiritual [[connection]] with me, you will bear [[abundant]] fruit. If you abide in me and my [[words]] live in you, you will be able to [[commune]] freely with me, and then can my [[Spirit of Truth|living spirit]] so infuse you that you may ask whatsoever my [[spirit]] wills and do all this with the [[assurance]] that [[the Father]] will grant us our [[petition]]. Herein is [[the Father]] [[glorified]]: that the vine has many living branches, and that every branch bears much fruit. And when the world sees these fruit-bearing branches—my [[friends]] who [[love]] one another, even as I have loved them—all men will know that you are truly my [[disciples]].[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_15]

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].

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.

180:2.5 When there exists this living [[connection]] between [[divinity]] and [[humanity]], if humanity should thoughtlessly and [[ignorantly]] [[pray]] for [[selfish]] [[Indolence|ease]] and vainglorious accomplishments, there could be only one [[divine]] answer: more and increased bearing of the [[fruits of the spirit]] on the stems of the living branches. When the branch of the vine is alive, there can be only one answer to all its [[petitions]]: increased grape bearing. In [[fact]], the branch exists only for, and can do nothing except, fruit bearing, yielding grapes. So does the true [[believer]] exist only for the [[purpose]] of bearing the [[fruits of the spirit]]: to [[love]] man as he himself has been loved by [[God]]—that we should love one another, even as [[Jesus]] has loved us.

==180:3. ENMITY OF THE WORLD==

180:3.1 The eleven had scarcely ceased their [[discussions]] of the [[discourse]] on the vine and the branches when [[the Master]], indicating that he was [[desirous]] of [[speaking]] to them further and knowing that his [[time]] was short, said: " When I have left you, be not [[discouraged]] by the [[enmity]] of the world. Be not [[downcast]] even when faint-hearted [[believers]] turn against you and join hands with the [[enemies]] of [[the kingdom]]. If the world shall [[hate]] you, you should recall that it hated me even before it hated you. If you were of this world, then would the world [[love]] its own, but because you are not, the world refuses to [[love]] you. You are in this world, but your lives are not to be worldlike.
