Yohanes 15:2
“Setiap ranting pada-Ku yang tidak berbuah, Dia potong; dan setiap ranting yang berbuah, Dia pangkas agar berbuah lebih banyak.
(a) Dia mengambil. Ini adalah terjemahan yang buruk; yang lebih baik adalah “Dia mengangkat.” Kata mengambil adalah dayung 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).
Obatnya adalah dengan mengingat ketinggian dari mana Anda telah jatuh dan membiarkan Tuhan sang Tukang Kebun mengangkat Anda kembali ke tempat tinggi cintanya. Saat Anda menikmati cintanya, Anda akan menghasilkan buahnya dengan mudah.

(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.
Yohanes 15:4
“Tinggallah di dalam Aku, dan Aku di dalam kamu. Sebagaimana ranting tidak dapat berbuah dari dirinya sendiri kecuali ia tetap pada pokok anggur, demikian juga kamu tidak dapat berbuah kecuali kamu tinggal di dalam Aku.
Tinggallah di dalam Aku. 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 masuk untuk Bertahan.
Yohanes 15:5
“Akulah pokok anggur, kamu adalah ranting-rantingnya; dia yang tinggal di dalam Aku dan Aku di dalam dia, dia menghasilkan banyak buah, karena selain Aku kamu tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa.
Akulah pokok anggur, kamulah ranting-rantingnya. 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.

Yohanes 15:6
“Barangsiapa tidak tinggal di dalam Aku, ia dibuang seperti ranting dan menjadi kering; dan mereka mengumpulkannya, dan melemparkannya ke dalam api dan membakarnya.
(a) Anyone. Jesus has been talking to Anda disciples (believers) who are already clean (John 15:3). He now widens his discussion to anyone (unbelievers who choose not to abide).
(b) Tinggallah di dalam Aku; Lihat masuk for John 15:4.
(c) Cabang. Cabang yang dipotong adalah mereka yang tidak percaya kepada Yesus. Ini termasuk bangsa Israel yang menolak Tuhan dan memutuskan diri karena ketidakpercayaan mereka (lihat masuk 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.
(e) Api. 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 masuk for Luke 12:49).
John 15:7
“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
(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) It will be done because you have prayed according to the will of God. When we align our faith with the promises of God, good things happen.
Prayers go unanswered for one of two reasons; they are not asked or they are asked with wrong motives (Jas. 4:2–3).
Yohanes 15:9
“Sama seperti Bapa telah mengasihi Aku, Aku juga telah mengasihi kamu; tinggallah dalam kasih-Ku.
(a) Bapa telah mengasihi Aku. 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 masuk for John 17:23).
(b) Bertahanlah dalam cintaku. 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).
Yohanes 15:10
“Jika kamu menuruti perintah-Ku, kamu akan tinggal di dalam kasih-Ku; sama seperti Aku telah mematuhi perintah-perintah Bapa-Ku dan tinggal di dalam kasih-Nya.
(a) Jika kamu menuruti perintah-Ku. 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) Ayahku; Lihat masuk for John 4:21.
(c) perintah Ayahku. 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) Bertahan dalam cintanya. Tinggal di dalam kasih Bapa berarti tinggal di dalam kasih Yesus (lihat ayat sebelumnya).
Yohanes 15:12
“Inilah perintah-Ku, agar kamu saling mengasihi, sama seperti Aku telah mengasihi kamu.
(a) Perintahku. 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) Bahkan seperti aku telah mencintaimu. 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 dalam hukum. 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.

Yohanes 15:13
“Tidak ada kasih yang lebih besar dari pada kasih seorang yang memberikan nyawanya untuk sahabat-sahabatnya.
Cinta yang lebih besar. Menurut definisi ternganga-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.
Yohanes 15:16
“Kamu tidak memilih Aku tetapi Aku memilih kamu, dan menetapkan kamu bahwa kamu akan pergi dan menghasilkan buah, dan buahmu akan tetap, sehingga apa pun yang kamu minta kepada Bapa dalam nama-Ku dapat Dia berikan kepadamu.
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).
Yohanes 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).
Yohanes 15:25
“Tetapi mereka telah melakukan ini untuk memenuhi kata yang tertulis dalam Hukum mereka, 'MEREKA MEMBENCI AKU TANPA SEBAB.'
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.
Yohanes 15:26
“Ketika Penghibur datang, yang akan Kuutus kepadamu dari Bapa, yaitu Roh kebenaran yang keluar dari Bapa, Dia akan bersaksi tentang Aku,
Pembantu adalah Roh Kudus; melihat masuk 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!
