Heavenly Father’s Cultivation and Pruning

經文：約15:1-3

Scriptures: John 15:1-3

背誦經文：8耶和華說：我的意念非同你們的意念；我的道路非同你們的道路。9天怎樣高過地，照樣，我的道路高過你們的道路；我的意念高過你們的意念。(賽 55:8-9)

Memorization Verse: 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

A. 修理的人 (Higher Hand)：「我父是栽培的人」

The One that prunes (Higher Hand): “My Father is the vinedresser”

• 我是真葡萄樹，我父是栽培的人。(約15:1)
• I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. (John 15:1)
• 我─耶和華是看守葡萄園的；我必時刻澆灌，晝夜看守，免得有人損害。 (賽27:3)
• I, the Lord, keep it, I water it every moment; Lest any hurt it, I keep it night and day (Isaiah 27:3)

B. 修理的目的 (Higher Purposes)：「我父就因此得榮耀」

The purpose of pruning (Higher Purposes): “By this My Father is glorified”

• 凡屬我不結果子的枝子，祂就剪去；凡結果子的，祂就修理乾淨，使枝子結果子更多。(約15:2)
• Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. (John 15:2)
• 你們多結果子，我父就因此得榮耀，你們也就是我的門徒了。(約15:8)
• By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples (John 15:8)
