Knowing Jesus

KNOW JESUS

And You Will Know The Father

7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

John 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

The words “take away” are misleading. The greek word is “airo”.  “Take away” is one meaning. The other meaning is “to lift up”. Jesus  tells us the context is to consider the work of the vine dresser. The primary task of a vine dresser is to position the vine upward in order for the vine to face the sun. See the symbolism at work here.  Look closely at this verse and notice the words “every branch in me“.  The branch is abiding in the vine.  Only branches that do not abide are removed.

Branches that are pruned are those that will produce more fruit. Symbolic of God’s SANCTIFICATION through GRACE.
