This is to My Father’s glory The phrase "This is to My Father’s glory" emphasizes the ultimate purpose of a believer's life: to glorify God. The Greek word for "glory" is "doxa," which conveys the idea of honor, splendor, and divine quality. In the context of the Gospel of John, glorifying the Father is a central theme, as Jesus consistently points to the Father as the source of His mission and authority. Historically, the Jewish understanding of glorifying God involved living in a way that reflected His holiness and righteousness. For Christians, this means that their actions and lives should reflect God's character, bringing honor to Him. that you bear much fruit proving yourselves to be My disciples So shall ye be my disciples.--Better, and may become My disciples. The pronoun is strongly emphatic. The living union with Christ, which made all their prayers, prayers in His name, and prayers which He would answer, and made them abound with fruit to the glory of God, was the characteristic which marked them as His true disciples. Verse 8. - Here the Lord shows what he knows will be and must be the dominant desire of the man who abides in himself, in whom his own word abides. Such a man will seek, yearn, ask, that he should bear much fruit. This prayer will be heard, and in this sublime synthesis between Christ and his disciples, says Christ, was my Father glorified. "In the fruitfulness of the vine is the glory of the husbandman," and in the answer of your prayers, and the regulation of all your desires, so ye shall become my disciples. "Discipleship" is a very large word, never altogether realized. Just as faith leads to faith, and love to love, and light to light, so does discipleship to discipleship. As Bengel says, discipleship is the fundamentum et fastigium of Christianity. On earth the vine reveals itself in the branches, and thus conceals itself behind them. "This explains why the diffusion of spiritual life makes such slow progress in the world - the Vine effects nothing but by means of the branches, and these so often paralyze instead of promoting the action of the Vine" (Godet). If the other text be maintained, Herein was my Father glorified, so that ye might bear much fruit, and that ye may become my disciples, the "herein" points back to the previous verse, and then the contemplated result of the arrangement, rather than the purpose of the glory, is the matter referred to.Parallel Commentaries ...
