John 15: preface

Go to the next post in this study.
Over the past couple weeks, I have really been struck by the passage in John 15, particularly verses 1-17. The amazing thing about the Bible is that no matter how many times you read a verse, a passage, or a book, there is always something new to be learned; most importantly something more to learn about God, His character, and His grace.
I have always learned best by taking what I learn and sharing it with others, so I figured that a great way to do this would be to share some of my two cents worth (more like one and a half) with you. Rather than writing very long posts and covering the whole passage in a few shots, I’ll try to keep each post relatively short by writing one post for each verse. Keep in mind that the word relatively is very…well…relative!
The truth is that I would be doing this even if I knew that nobody was going to read it just because it will help me (sounds selfish, I know!), but my hope really is that God would use this to make the truth of His Word more known and set people free as a result. Remember that Jesus said that we would know the truth and that the truth would make us free. True freedom in Christ does not come by truth alone, but by knowing the truth. This is why it is so important that we dig deep into the riches of the Bible as we seek its Author with all our heart, soul, and mind.
So, in the next couple days we’ll get started with the introduction and verse one, and hopefully we’ll have this thing wrapped up by the time we get to Africa.
