| Summary | "Expositions of Holy Scripture: St. John Chaps. XV to XXI" by Alexander Maclaren is a theological commentary written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the Gospel of John, specifically chapters fifteen through twenty-one, exploring the teachings and events surrounding the life of Jesus, emphasizing the themes of love, unity, and the relationship between Christ and His followers. Maclaren's exposition seeks to unpack the depth of Christian doctrine and its practical implications for believers. At the start of this exposition, the author introduces the profound metaphor of the vine and the branches, illustrating the deep spiritual connection between Christ and His followers. Maclaren elaborates on the essential nature of this relationship, stressing that just as a branch cannot bear fruit unless it abides in the vine, Christians cannot achieve true spiritual life and productivity apart from Christ. He discusses how pruning—the cutting away of what is unfruitful—is both necessary and painful, leading to greater fruitfulness for those who remain united with Him. Additionally, Maclaren highlights the reciprocal nature of Christ’s love for His disciples and their corresponding love for one another, articulating that true discipleship is marked by obedience and a shared commitment to live out their faith. This opening portion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Christ’s teachings and the Christian experience, inviting readers to contemplate their own connection to the vine.
