And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also … make Our home (dwelling) with him.”

John 15:1-6  “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit … Abide in Me, and I in you …If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out … go and bear fruit, … fruit should remain,…”

It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.”
