Fruit Bearing Labourer’s

John 15:16 The Message

16 “You didn’t choose me, remember; I chose you, and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won’t spoil. As fruit bearers, whatever you ask the Father in relation to me, he gives you.

The Holy Bible: King James Version Chapter 9

35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Matthew 9:35–38 AMP

35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom and curing all kinds of disease and every weakness and infirmity. 36 When He saw the throngs, He was moved with pity and sympathy for them, because they were bewildered (harassed and distressed and dejected and helpless), like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest.

We can all agree that as we read Matthew 9:35 Jesus makes a profound statement the Harvest field (souls) is plenteous

Labourer’s are few (soul winner’s)

Pray he will send forth labourers into harvest

2. God Choose You: and your pastor picked you!!

3. He Put you in the world/Church to bear fruit

4. Your Fruit won’t spoil/it will remain

John: An Introduction and Commentary i. The True Vine and Its Branches (15:1–17)

This fruit is described as fruit that will last. The word ‘last’ translates menē. The same word is used to speak of three other things that last:

John: An Introduction and Commentary i. The True Vine and Its Branches (15:1–17)

the ‘food’ that the Son of Man will give, which endures (menousan) to eternal life (6:27);

John: An Introduction and Commentary i. The True Vine and Its Branches (15:1–17)

the son, not the slave, who has a permanent place (menei) in the family (8:35);

Amplified Bible Chapter 8

35 Now a slave does not remain in a household permanently (forever); the son [of the house] does remain forever.

36 So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free.

John: An Introduction and Commentary i. The True Vine and Its Branches (15:1–17)

the Christ who remains (menei) for ever and does not die (12:34)

GOD’S WORD Translation Chapter 12

34 The crowd responded to him, “We have heard from the Scriptures that the Messiah will remain here forever. So how can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up from the earth’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”

5. As fruit bearers, whatever you ask the Father in relation to me, he gives you.

Jesus made this promise to those who go and bear fruit: Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is the third of four remarkable promises Jesus made concerning prayer

The True Vine and Its Branches (15:1–17)

(14:13–14; 15:7–8, 16–17; 16:23–24).

John: An Introduction and Commentary i. The True Vine and Its Branches (15:1–17)

In each case the promise is conditional. In 15:16 the promise is conditional upon two things:

John: An Introduction and Commentary i. The True Vine and Its Branches (15:1–17)

the disciples carrying out their commission to go and bear fruit

John: An Introduction and Commentary i. The True Vine and Its Branches (15:1–17)

and prayer being made in Jesus’ name

The Holy Bible: King James Version Chapter 9

Greek/ Harvest: the gathering of ripened Crop

Matthew 9:37–38 AMP

37 Then He said to His disciples, The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest.

Matthew 9:37–38 TPT

37 He turned to his disciples and said, “The harvest is huge and ripe! But there are not enough harvesters to bring it all in. 38 As you go, plead with the Owner of the Harvest to thrust out many more reapers to harvest his grain!”

Matthew 9:37–38 NCV

37 Jesus said to his followers, “There are many people to harvest but only a few workers to help harvest them. 38 Pray to the Lord, who owns the harvest, that he will send more workers to gather his harvest.”

The harvest are ripe unbelievers who are ready to be plucked.

Jude 23 AV

23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
