约翰福音-John 15 章 8~9 节
| 15:8 |
你们多结果子，我父就因此得荣耀，你们也就是我的门徒了。 In this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so you will become My disciples. |
| 15:9 |
我爱你们，正如父爱我一样；你们要住在我的爱里。 As the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. |
Enlightenment:
The prayer in verse 7 is related to the fruit-bearing and the glorification of the Father mentioned in verse 8. We need to pray for much fruit-bearing that the Father may be glorified, that is, expressed, in the Son. In fruit-bearing the Father’s divine life is expressed and so He is glorified. Only when the Father is expressed is He glorified. Electricity illustrates what it means to be glorified. Electricity that is not expressed is electricity that is not glorified. Only when electricity is expressed is it glorified. The electricity in a lamp is glorified because it is expressed. Likewise, when the Father’s divine life is expressed in the fruit-bearing of the organism of the vine and the branches, He is glorified.
Real prayers must be followed by our life and walk. Our life, walk, and activity always follow our prayers. We must act, live, and work according to the way we pray. This is very profound. While the Lord abides in us, He expresses Himself, His thought, His desire, and His intention to us. When we utter this in prayer and act, live, and walk according to what we pray, God is expressed and glorified.

七节的祷告与八节所题的多结果子以及父的得荣有关。我们需要为多结果子祷告，好叫父得荣耀，也就是叫父在子身上得彰显。父神圣的生命因着我们结果子得着彰显，祂就因此得荣耀。只有当父得着彰显时，祂才得着荣耀。电可以说明得着荣耀的意思。没有彰显的电就是没有得荣的电。电只有得着彰显，才得着荣耀。电在灯里得着荣耀，因为它得着彰显了。照样，父神圣的生命因着葡萄树和枝子这生机的结果子而得着彰显，祂就得着了荣耀。
真正的祷告必须随着我们的生活行动。我们的生活、行事和活动，总是随着我们的祷告。我们必须照着我们所祷告的行动、生活并工作。这是非常深奥的。当主住在我们里面，祂就向我们发表祂自己、祂的思想、祂的愿望、以及祂的心意。当我们将这个在祷告中发表出来，并照着我们所祷告的行动、生活并工作，神就得着了彰显并荣耀。
