Last week Jesus shared how His disciples should respond to a world that will hate them and persecute them. He wanted them to lovingly share the truth about Him, even in the face of intense hatred and persecution! This morning, Jesus lets the disciples "in on” something the Holy Spirit is working on behind the scenes in the lives of unbelievers. He is “shaming” the world in three areas: sin, righteousness, and judgment. However, as we will see, He is not simply trying to make the world feel bad but rather convince and persuade the world of what is true!

The last three weeks we have slowed down to look closely at an analogy Jesus is using to describe fruit-bearing for disciples. It is an analogy utilizing the imagery of a vineyard. Starting in verse 9, He begins to discuss a very specific “fruit" that He desires to produce in us and through us: love! However, the outflow of love must first begin with an inflow of love and thus, abiding in the Vine remains “key” for this desired outcome.
