Electing Love
Pause and consider this opening verse, ‘As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you’. It is a great and precious discovery to every redeemed sinner that Christ’s love for His Bride is analogous to the Father’s particular and infinite love for His own dear Son. We may, on the basis of this statement alone, reject the foolish and unbiblical notion of the universal love of God for every individual. The Father declared His love and divine pleasure for His Son and the Lord Jesus tells us He has the same love and pleasure for His Church.

The True Vine
It seems likely this sermon in John 15 and 16 was spoken by the Lord as He reclined with His disciples after their Passover meal and following the institution of the Lord’s supper. The cup containing the fruit of the vine may have suggested this comparison of the true vine and its branches. The Lord uses this symbolism to describe His union with His Church. Allusions to God’s vine, the plant of Renown and the Branch are common in the writings of the Old Testament prophets where they are applied to the Messiah. Here they are claimed by the Lord Himself.

The Faith Of The Little Maid Rewarded
In turning to this part of God’s Holy Word, we often focus mostly on Naaman and the way godly Elisha dealt with that proud man, and, under God’s teaching, brought him to be a humble suppliant. But very little is said about the little maid. I want, with God’s help just for a few moments this evening, to bring before you the character of the faith of this little maid; the little girl in this chapter. These characters are left on record, though so little is known about them, to teach us and to be instructive to us that we might learn some gracious lessons from them, especially from the faith that this little maid had.
