Juan 15:2
“Todo pámpano que en mí no da fruto, lo corta; y todo sarmiento que da fruto, lo poda para que dé más fruto.
(a) el quita. Ésta es una mala traducción; una mejor es "Él levanta". La palabra para tomar es remo which means to lift, pick or raise up and this is how the word is translated in many other places (e.g., Mark 16:18, Luke 5:24, 17:13, John 11:41, Acts 4:24, Rev. 10:5). Unfruitful branches are lifted out of the dirt and redressed so that their only source of life can come from the vine.
The reason why some Christians are barren is that they’re trying to draw life from the world instead of drawing from the life-giving Vine. They are busy, distracted, stressed, and have wandered from their primary love. When believers lose sight of Christ’s love they tend to become religious and busy (Rev. 2:4-5).
El remedio es recordar la altura desde la que habéis caído y permitir que Dios Jardinero os eleve a las alturas de su amor. Mientras disfrutas de su amor, darás sus frutos sin esfuerzo.

(b) He prunes. Our Father trims away those time-wasting, energy-sapping distractions that hinder our spiritual growth and the result is we become healthier and more fruitful.
Juan 15:4
“Permaneced en Mí y Yo en vosotros. Como el pámpano no puede dar fruto por sí mismo si no permanece en la vid, así tampoco vosotros si no permanecéis en Mí.
Permaneced en mí. To abide in Christ is to rest in his love (John 15:9). It’s living with the complete dependence that a branch has for a vine and realizing that apart from him we can do nothing. See entrada para Permanecer.
Juan 15:5
“Yo soy la vid, vosotros sois los pámpanos; el que permanece en Mí y Yo en él, éste lleva mucho fruto, porque separados de Mí nada podéis hacer.
Yo soy la vid, ustedes son las ramas.. What a wonderful picture of our total dependence on Christ. Our union with the Lord is the source of our very life (Gal. 2:20, Eph. 2:5, Col. 3:4). Apart from him we can do nothing, but in him we truly live and move and have our being.

Juan 15:6
“El que no permanece en Mí, es desechado como un pámpano y se seca; y los recogen, los echan al fuego y se queman.
(a) Anyone. Jesus has been talking to you disciples (believers) who are already clean (John 15:3). He now widens his discussion to anyone (unbelievers who choose not to abide).
(b) Permaneced en mí; ver entrada for John 15:4.
(C) Rama. Las ramas cortadas son los que no creen en Jesús. Esto incluye a la nación de Israel que rechazó al Señor y se excluyó a causa de su incredulidad (ver entrada for Rom. 11:17).
(d) Cast into the fire. Those who worry that the Lord will cast away backsliding or under-performing Christians can take comfort in his promises to never cast away those who come to him (e.g., John 6:37). Those who have been born again cannot be unborn. Those who have been made new creations cannot be unmade. If you prove faithless, he will remain faithful (2 Tim. 2:13). There are more than 130 promises guaranteeing the eternal security of the believer.
(mi) Fuego. The ungodly and all those things that are opposed to God’s goodness will be destroyed by fire (2 Pet. 2:6, 3:7).
Fire is Old Testament image associated with divine judgment (Is. 66:15–16, Oba. 1:18, Zeph. 3:8, Mal. 4:1). Jesus often spoke of fire in connection with Judgment Day (Matt. 5:22, 13:42, 50, 18:9, 25:41, Mark 9:43, Luke 17:29–30, John 15:6). He did not dread this fire but he looked forward to it knowing that it would spell the end of sin and usher in eternity (see entrada for Luke 12:49).
Juan 15:7
“Si permanecéis en Mí y Mis palabras permanecen en vosotros, pedid lo que queráis y os será hecho.
(a) Abide. Rest in his love (John 15:9). When we rest in the love of Christ and his word is rooted in our hearts, his desires become our desires. As a result, we bear his fruit and we pray righteous prayers.
(b) Ask. Asking is how we receive (Jas. 4:2). Our Father wants us to ask because asking cultivates dependency and intimacy.
(C) Whatever you wish. When you are living from your union with the Lord, you can be confident that the desires of your heart are from the Lord (Ps. 37:4).
(d) Sera hecho porque habéis orado conforme a la voluntad de Dios. Cuando alineamos nuestra fe con las promesas de Dios, suceden cosas buenas.
Prayers go unanswered for one of two reasons; they are not asked or they are asked with wrong motives (Jas. 4:2–3).
Juan 15:9
“Así como el Padre me ha amado, así también yo os he amado; permaneced en Mi amor.
(a) El Padre me ha amado. The original word for love means to be well pleased or fond of or contented with. It describes the unconditional love God the Father has for his Son (John 3:35, 17:26), for the whole world (John 3:16), and for his children (Eph. 2:4, 1 John 3:1). God loves you with the same sort of love he has for Jesus (see entrada for John 17:23).
(b) permanece en mi amor. Under the old law-keeping covenant, you were commanded to love the Lord your God with all your heart (Deut. 6:5, 10:12). The flow was from you to the Lord. But in the new covenant of grace, we love because he first loved us (1 John 4:19). It is because we know the love of Christ (Eph. 3:19) that we are able to walk in his love (Eph. 5:2), keep ourselves in his love (Jude 1:21), and remain in his love (John 15:9, 10, 1 John 4:12, 16).
Juan 15:10
“Si guardáis Mis mandamientos, permaneceréis en Mi amor; así como he guardado los mandamientos de Mi Padre y permanezco en Su amor.
(a) Si guardas mis mandamientos. Obedience is a fruit of trusting Jesus (1 John 3:23).
In the new covenant, obedience follows trust, and we trust him because we know him. However, someone with an old covenant mindset reverses the order: “If you wish to know him, you must keep his commandments.” Perversely, this mindset will have the very opposite effect as it will cause you to trust in yourself while alienating you from Christ (Gal. 5:4).
(b) Mi padre; ver entrada for John 4:21.
(C) Los mandamientos de mi padre. God commands us to believe in Jesus and love one another (1 John 3:23)
In contrast with the heavy yoke of Moses (Act 15:10), the yoke of Jesus is light (Matt. 11:30). “His commandments are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3
(d) Permanece en su amor. Permanecer en el amor del Padre es permanecer en el amor de Jesús (ver versículo anterior).
Juan 15:12
“Este es mi mandamiento: que os améis unos a otros, como yo os he amado.
(a) mi mandamiento. Christ’s command to love one another is sometimes referred to as the law of Christ (1 Cor. 9:21, Gal. 6:2), or the new commandment (John 13:34, 1 John 2:8, 2 John 1:5).
(b) Incluso como te he amado. In the new covenant of grace, we love because he first loved us (1 John 4:19).
Jesus was once asked to name the greatest commandment in the law. Jesus replied that the first and greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (Matt. 22:36-38). Note that this is the greatest commandment en la ley. Under the law-keeping covenant, the flow was from you to the Lord (Deut. 6:5, 10:12). You loved God because it was a law that came with consequences. But in the new covenant of grace, we love one another with the same love that Christ loved us.

Juan 15:13
“Nadie tiene mayor amor que este, que uno ponga su vida por sus amigos.
Amor más grande. Por definición el ágape-love of God is unconditional and self-sacrificing (Eph. 5:2, 25, 1 John 3:16). God will never make you jump through hoops to earn his love. He won’t love you any more if you succeed and he won’t love you any less if you fail. There is nothing you can do to make him love you more, and nothing you can do to make him love you less.

John 15:15
“No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.
I have called you friends. Jesus called his disciples “friends” and not “brothers” because they remained outside of the family of God. They were not yet Christians and could not become so until Jesus was raised from the dead (see Rom. 10:9). It is good to be God’s friend, but it’s even better to be his child. Our adoption into the new creation family of God is only possible because of what Christ accomplished on the cross.
Juan 15:16
“No me elegisteis a mí, pero yo os elegí a vosotros, y os designé para que vayáis y deis fruto, y que vuestro fruto permanezca, para que todo lo que pidáis al Padre en mi nombre os lo dé.
Whatever you ask. The God Jesus revealed is a listening and responsive Father (Matt. 6:8, 7:11, 18:19, Luke 11:13, John 16:23, 26). He hears your prayers and knows your needs even before you ask him (Matt 6:8).
John 15:20
“Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
Persecute. The original verb diōkō, which is related to the Greek verb diō (meaning “to flee”), has both positive and negative meanings depending on the context. In a positive context, it means “to pursue” or “strive for.” We are to pursue love (1 Cor. 14:1), pursue righteousness (1 Tim. 6:11), and pursue the things which make for peace (Rom. 14:19). In a negative context, it means “to persecute, harass, or oppress” (e.g., Matt. 5:10–12). It can also mean “to drive out or expel” (e.g., Matt. 23:24).
Juan 15:25
“Pero esto lo han hecho para cumplir la palabra que está escrita en su Ley: 'SIN CAUSA ME ODIARON'.
Written in their Law. Jesus is quoting Psalm 35:19 or 69:4. The Psalms do not form part of the Law of Moses or the Torah (the first five books of the Bible). Jesus is referring to the Hebrew Scriptures or the Old Testament. For similar examples, see John 10:34, 12:34 and 1 Cor. 14:21.
Juan 15:26
“Cuando venga el Consolador, a quien yo os enviaré desde el Padre, es decir, el Espíritu de verdad que procede del Padre, él dará testimonio de mí,
El ayudante es el Espíritu Santo; ver entrada for John 14:16.

Thank you so much for you commentary on John 15:2! Reading it was so life-giving for me today. I’ve been wondering and meditating on John 15:2 where Jesus said every branch IN ME does not bear fruit, He TAKES AWAY. WHY would a branch IN JESUS not bear fruit?? and so harsh that it gets taken away! BUT! here’s what “takes away” means–>He lifts up, pick up, raise up! THANK YOU LORD JESUS! Even when I get distracted and even busy with religious things, and inevitably feel empty, Jesus LIFTS me up! REMEMBER your first love Rev. 2:4-5.
I’m there too this was very encouraging and helps me to be a better version of His hands and feet. To love better, to love in truth with the Love He produces as a stay connected to Him!
