Summary: | The Johannine mashal of the vine and branches portrays the new relationship for the people of God in the post-resurrection period: the Pentecostal day of the Paraclete will be the occasion when Jesus is ‘in them’, expressed in the ‘abiding’ language. Jesus affirms one vital aspect of the Paraclete – to effect a mutual indwelling. Through the vine-symbolism, Jesus announces the privileges of the new relationship of abiding and natural fruit-bearing; it will be shown that lasting fruit designates new converts who will continue in their newfound faith, thereby leading to the advance of God’s fame. |
