a whole to go into these three chapters in one lesson even cursorily is im possible even to take up all that is involvedn the printed portion is more than could be expected of either teacher or pupils in the brief space allotted for the study and exposition of the lesson we have here the opening up of much preci ous truth which the lord wished to impress upon the hearts of his disciples before he left them he tells them for the first time of an aspect of his second coming hither to unrevealed he had often spoken of his return as son of man to judge the world and to set up his kingdom of righteousness but here he speaks of his coining to receive his own and to take them to the fathers house he shows how after the setting aside of israel as an empty vine hos 10 1 he alfalfa hay wanted

stajax stouffville 168 himself would be manifested as the true vine and all his disciples as branches therein he tells of the coming of the comforter the holy spirit to dwell in his own and to empower them for testimony as he shows them things to come john 161315 he points out the path of separ ation to himself and of rejection by the world which his followers must take if they would be true to him during his absence but he assures them of peace of conscience and peace of heart as they receive his word and walk in obedience to it all of this was intended to pre pare them for the experiences awaiting them after his death resurrection and ascension to heaven verse by verse john 14 1 ye believe in god j believe also in me he was going to leave them so far as physical presence was concerned but just as they had believed or trusted in god although unseen so he would have them trust in him when he was no longer visible to mortal sight his love would remain unchanged and unchanging and his interest in and care for them would not cease so long as they remained in this scene verse 2 in my fathers house are many mansions or abodes he had spoken of the temple as his fathers house john 216 in it there were rooms for the priests who served in their appointed courses the earthly sanctuary was a pattern of things in the heavens heb 911 12 23 but he was going to prepare a special place for his own where they would enjoy uninterrupted fellowship with the father and the son for all eternity verse 3 i will come again and receive you unto myself this was the first definite declaration in regard to an aspect of the second advent never referred to in the old testament nor previously unfolded in the synoptics it was as though he could not refrain from taking them into his confidence as to that which was to be more fully unfold ed by the apostle paul later on see 1 thess 1 131s to be re ceived unto himself is quite differ ent from appearing with him in glory when he comes to execute judgment on the world verse 1 whiether i go ye know again and again he had spoken of going to the father and it should have been clear that he was going by the way of the cross verse 5 how can we know the way thomas spoke for all the disciples he was perplexed and failed to understand our lords words seemed to him cryptic and strange verse 6 i am the way the truth and the life he himself is the way to the fathers house to trust him is to be in the way he is truth incarnate and the fountain of life john 11 to know him is to be in possession of all the wisdom and knowlege col 23 verse 12 greater works than these shall he do after his resur rection and ascension to heaven his followers were enabled in the energy of the holy spirit to do his work and even to exceed what he had done verse 13 whatsoever ye shall ask in my name that will i do to ask in his name is to ask by his authority as we pray in accordance with his will we may be certain he will answer verse m any thing in my name note the breadth of the privileges extended to us any thing but observe the restriction in my name we are not entitled to make arbitrary demands upon god but we can ask in confidence when we pray in accordance with the will of the lord jesus verse 15 if ye love me keep my commandments obedience is the test of profession when christ is truly loved we shall delight to do his will verse 16 another comforter that he may abide with you for ever jesus was himself their com forter or paraketos 1 john 21 advocate and comforter are both translations of the same word when he returned to the father the holy spirit would be sent to abide with his people through all their earthly pilgrimage verse l7he dwelleth with cherrywood last weeks news sorry to learn that mrs a e armstrong has been sick and

unseen is ever witli his own chap 15 1 i am the true vine this is in contrast to israel the empty vine hos 10 1 which was now to be set to one side verse 2 every branch in me all who profess faith in christ now form part of the true vine but we need to remember there are no natural branches in this vine all need to be grafted in fruitbearing proves that a living link has been estalished verse 3 ye are clean through the word they were regenerated by the word which they had re ceived in faith this involved cleansing from all the sins of the past verse 4 abide in me and i in you this is fellowship we can not bear fruit for god if we are not abiding in christ in hallowed com munion verse 5 without me ye can do nothing a branch severed from the vine soon dries up and is worth less so the professed christian who is not vitally linked with christ can accomplish nothing for god verse 6 cast forth as a branch a fruitless branch is of no use and is cast to one side men gather up sucli branches and burn them thus clearing the vineyard of what is only cumbering the ground the heart of the lesson three outstanding truths are here emphasized the lord jesus christ was going away the holy spirit was to be sent down from heaven to be the power of the new life of gods children who in fel lowship with the risen christ were to take the place of testimony as branches in the living vine in due time the lord jesus is coming again to receive his own to himself and totake them to the fathers house as these great facts are kept before the soul there will be con fident hope and joyful
