If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.

I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.

John 15:10–11

This Sunday’s gospel is a continuation from last week.

Jesus encourages the disciples (and us) to abide in Jesus’ love.

Abiding in Jesus’ love allows us to bear the fruit of love but also to experience the JOY of Jesus.

Jesus’ prayer for us is we would have his joy and that would be completed or perfected in our lives.

Sign me up for JOY!
