Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel – The Branch That Withers: Why God Cuts Off the Unfruitful

0:00 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser, and you are the branches. I am the true vine, my Father is the vine dresser, the one who prunes the vine tree.

0:14 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, one God, Amen.

0:26 Silence the phone in your hands.

0:28 May the feast our patron saint Shimon Bar Sabae be a huge blessing to every single one of you my beloved and all of us. Today we remember we celebrate the feast of our beloved saint Shimon Bar Sabae where this church is named after him and the Holy Mother.

0:52 May his prayers.

0:54 May His intercession be ever so present in your life. May you ask for His intercession because saints are all very, very powerful intercessors because they are in a much higher and elevated state than us. They are much closer to the Lord Jesus than all of us.

1:17 But together, because they.

1:19 Are now in the presence of the Lord in the third heaven, which is paradise, where they no longer are going through the weakness of the flesh and being susceptible to making mistakes no more. So they are in a state where they are extremely close. And they are definitely living. They are the living saints because what makes a human ends up in death is sin. So where saints no longer sin anymore, they are absolutely in the presence of the Lord Jesus to the fullness.

2:00 My beloved.

2:01 So one of these saints who is ever-living saint is Matthew Bar-Sabbai.

2:07 He was martyred back in 341 A.D.

2:08 And that is a very long time ago.

2:10 But he's still alive and we still remember him because he who has the Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, has everlasting life.

2:16 Amen.

2:32 Our beloved fathers, deacons, nuns, faithfuls both in this holy church and everyone who is watching us through live stream.

2:41 May the almighty God the.

2:43 Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, one in nature, one in essence, bless you all, guide you, protect you and deliver you from the snares of the enemy for the rest.

2:55 Of your life and for eternities to come. Amen.

2:59 The gospel of today is taken or chosen by our church fathers in accordance with the gospel of St. John, or according to the gospel of St. John, chapter 15 and verses 1 to 25 inclusive. John 15, 1 to 25. The Lord Jesus in this gospel is saying some very profound words, the depth theology. I just want to share with you a couple of these words. Chapter 15 begins with these words.

3:32 The Lord says about himself, I am.

3:34 The true vine.

3:47 And my Father is the vine dresser. And you are the branches. I am the true vine. My Father is the vine dresser, the one who prunes the vine tree. And you are the branches. It's incredible how the Lord Jesus talks.

4:05 Simple words, yet so deep. Very simple language.

4:17 Yet so immense in its richness.

4:22 The treasure that is hidden. You know what?

4:25 The only thing that makes things simple is wisdom.

4:26 The only thing.

4:37 That makes things very simple is wisdom. It takes wisdom to make a complicated matter very simple.

4:52 Some people might look and.

4:53 Say, well, St.

4:55 Paul, the way he writes, is kind of difficult to understand.

5:00 The Lord Jesus speaks in a more simple term. Well, the simpler you are, the more complex you are, and the more wise you are. The Lord Jesus is God. Obviously, the Lord Jesus gave the wisdom to his disciples, to his apostles to write through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. But the Lord himself, when he spoke, he spoke in a very simple language, simple words, nothing eloquent, nothing complicated.

5:31 He wanted people to understand. They thought they understood, but they understood absolutely nothing until the Holy Spirit began revealing to them What the Lord said in simple terms. It took a very long time to fathom what the.

5:49 Lord was saying.

5:51 I am the true vine. My father is the vine dresser. And you are the branches. When we read in the book of Genesis, which is the beginning of the Holy Bible, Old Testament.

6:04 The book of Genesis, the days of creation.

6:06 When God creates the trees, you will see the Holy Bible mentions that the seed was in the tree, not in the fruit.

6:16 Example, an apple tree.

6:22 When the apple tree gives those apples and they become ripe, we pluck them of that tree. You take that apple down, that tree gives another apple.

6:32 You take it again, it gives.

6:34 You another one. You plug it and it gives you another one. And it keeps on giving you, the more you plug, the more it gives apples.

6:41 Why?

6:42 Because the seed is in the tree, not in the fruit. And as long as the seed is in the tree, the tree will always be fruitful. The Lord, in today's.

6:53 Gospel, he resembles himself by this vine tree. And it's a special vine tree.

7:04 It's a very unique one where the branches of this vine tree cannot stand.

7:13 On their own.

7:14 They need to be carried by something carrying them from beneath. Otherwise, the branches will collapse on the ground. And if these branches collapse on the ground, They can never give fruit.

7:27 This is the.

7:28 Kind of a vine tree the Lord is referring to in John 15. And how do they carry those branches? By putting two pieces of wood, one straight and one lying down.

7:45 This way, the cross.

7:46 The cross carries the branch.

7:47 Without the cross, The branch collapses on the ground and cannot be fruitful anymore. This particular vine tree doesn't give fruit the moment the branch is in contact with the ground.

8:07 It has to be in the air.

8:07 And the only way for it to remain in the air, the cross must carry it.

8:11 I am the true vine.

8:12 Out of all trees, This vine tree, the seed is in the fruit, not in the tree. It's the other way around. All trees, the seed is in the tree, not in the fruit. This vine tree, the seed is in the fruit, not in the tree.

8:39 So the moment this tree.

8:41 Gives those clusters of grapes, the moment you plug those clusters together, the seed goes with the fruit. And since the seed goes with the fruit, the tree cannot give fruit anymore because it requires a seed in it in order to be fruitful. Since the seed is in the fruit, once it's plugged, the seed goes with the fruit. Then how can this tree give fruit again since the seed is gone with the fruit? The Lord didn't say about us that we are the grapes.

9:23 He said you are the branches. Incredible.

9:28 Imagine if the Lord had said I am the true vine. My father is the vine dresser and you are the grapes. The moment we get plugged we are totally separated from Christ.

9:38 There is no comeback.

9:38 The seed is gone.

9:43 He said, you're the branches. Remain in me in order for you to be fruitful.

9:49 So now we come.

9:50 How does this vine tree give fruit when the seed is in the fruit, not in the tree?

9:55 Only one way and one way only.

9:57 By being cut.

9:58 It bears fruit. Who cuts this vine tree? The Father.

10:01 Who is the vine tree?

10:02 The Son.

10:02 Who cut the Son on the cross?

10:04 The Father. No one else.

10:21 Let your kingdom come.

10:22 They thought it was Augustus Caesar. They thought it was Caiaphas. They thought it was King Herod. They thought it was the Sanhedrin. No, it was the father's plan from the very beginning in order to save the human race. And so God loved the whole world that he gave his only begotten son so that whoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

10:47 Who sacrificed the son? The father.

10:51 That's why the Lord says, my father is the vine dresser. And what does the vine dresser do? He comes and starts cutting into this tree. He has a small, very sharp little knife in his hand. And he comes to the branch, prunes it, and then starts cutting into this branch. When the cut is made in the branch, that juice, that water, that liquid that runs in that vine tree starts coming out of that wound.

11:21 When that juice comes out.

11:23 Of the wound, it evolves around that wound and becomes like a knob. Becomes like a knot.

11:39 And then turns into a flower. And then it turns into.

11:43 Cluster of grapes. Out of the wound.

11:44 The fruit. Come.

11:45 That's the only.

11:45 Only way.

11:46 For this vine tree.

11:48 To be fruitful. It must be cut.

11:50 God the father. Says I have one son. One.

12:06 Beloved begotten son of mine Jesus Christ of Nazareth but I want many sons and in order for my son to be fruitful and bring many many more sons to me my son I need to cut.

12:26 He was nailed on the cross and out of the wound of the Lord the church was born when.

12:33 You see the abomination of desolation There is another study of the Holy Bible called typology. Typology is, this is one type and this is another type. It's likened on the other one, typology.

12:51 So, St.

12:52 Paul uses the language of typology. Where he says, the former Adam... He talks about our father Adam, the one what God created in the very beginning in the Garden of Eden. He calls him the former Adam and then he says there is the latter Adam. That is the language of typology. The former Adam is the one that's created by God who broke God's word. The latter Adam is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the one who fulfilled all of God's word. Out of the former Adam, Eve was created.

13:32 You see, Adam was created out of the clay, the mud. Eve was not created out of another clay. Otherwise, she would have been a totally.

13:42 Different person to him.

13:45 God created Adam out of the mud, but created Eve out of Adam, not out.

13:50 Of another mud. So the two are one. But it's definitely Adam and Eve, yes? Please.

14:00 Don't upset the Lord. Eve, the mother of all life, came out of the side of Adam. The mother of all life came.

14:05 Out of the side of Adam.

14:05 And Jesus Christ, the latter Adam, His side was pierced by that centurion's spear. And out of that side came out the mother of all life, the church.

14:36 And when the church was born, children were born to be the children of.

14:40 God out of the baptismal font. My daughters, all the girls who are my daughters, a woman has a womb. And the church has a womb where bears children and gives birth to those children.

15:03 Out of that womb. That womb of the.

15:06 Mother church is the baptismal font. So when the church and Christ the man get united, they give birth. to spiritual children from the spiritual womb, the baptismal font, one of the seven sacraments of the true church of Christ. So from the side of the Lord came the church and the church started giving birth, giving.

15:33 Life to those who were dead in the world.

15:37 Baptism brought the people from the kingdom of the world into the kingdom of heaven under the rulership of Jesus Christ.

15:46 The King of all kings and the Lord of all lords. The Lord says, I was cut by my father in order for me to bring many souls that were lost and dead to my dad.

15:54 And if you love me, because today's gospel is all about if you love me, Then this is my commandment I leave with you.

16:14 Love one another the way I have loved you.

16:17 If you love me, then let my word abide in you. Abide in me and abide in my word. And what is your word? Your word is love. But in this love there is law.

16:28 Because the word is law. But this word is love. Meaning the law fulfilled based on love.

16:42 Because you will never ever be able to fulfill any law unless there is love.

16:49 You can never listen and respect someone you don't love.

17:00 You can never listen to what they say and do what they say unless you love them.

17:06 You'll only listen to those you love.

17:08 And you will only do what they say to you. The Lord says, if you love me, abide in me and abide in my word. And what is your word, Lord?

17:22 I am the true vine. My dad is the vine dresser, the one who cuts. He cut me to make you. And if you love.

17:33 Me, you are the branch now.

17:36 And the branch cannot be fruitful unless it abides in the vine tree. Because if the branch is dry, my dad will cut it off. And any branch my dad cuts, it is dead. It must be thrown into fire. You're going to end up going to hell. Eternal death. But abide in me by listening to what I say. Because if you listen to what I say you are proving to yourself that you love me. Because you will never listen to someone you do not love.

18:09 And what do you say Lord?

18:10 The Lord says my dad cut me to bring you to him and now you are the branches in this true vine just like the way I was cut for your sake are you willing to be cut for my sake are you willing to be cut for my sake because this vine tree can never give fruit unless the branch is.

18:34 Cut allow my dad.

18:49 To believe you. The way he bled his beloved sons. Are you willing to sacrifice for me in other words? Are you willing to live for me in other words? Are you willing to give up on worldly pleasures for my sake? Are you willing to walk away from Satan for my sake? Are you willing to step on the poison of the snake? Step on worldly pleasures. Are you willing to change going to that club and coming to the church? Are you willing to stop swearing and start praising?

19:22 Are you willing to stop walking in darkness and start.

19:25 Walking in the light?

19:27 Are you willing to live for your Messiah and stop living for this world which Satan rules?

19:34 Are you willing? Are you willing to be cut by my father?

19:39 Are you willing to give up on the things you want and do the things your Christ wants?

19:50 Are you willing?

19:53 You can never say to someone, I love you, yet you don't listen and obey them.

19:59 What kind of a love is this? It's a lie.

20:02 If you love that person, you will do what they say to you. Otherwise, how will you prove that you love them if you are disrespectful, disobedient to them?

20:13 There is no love. Words are easy said than done. The Lord doesn't want eloquent preachers. Now this is to every preacher.

20:17 Open your ears.

20:33 Don't make the Lord's way easy. You will have to answer for it. Some of these preachers, they make it so easy. Oh, the Lord is wonderful. The Lord is nice. Little kids, you know, playing in the street. The Lord doesn't want eloquent preachers.

20:58 The Lord wants souls that are willing to live for him.

21:02 The Lord says, it was nice talking about me to the world, but.

21:05 I'm still waiting for you to live for me. You're just talking. When are you going to live for me? And until you live for me, my word hasn't found a place in your heart. Unplug the television.

21:27 Break the digital addiction that is draining the spiritual life. I can say I'm a Christian. The Lord will say prove it.

21:33 I can say I'm a believer.

21:34 The Lord will say show it. I can say I go to church.

21:36 The Lord will say when and where. I was looking for that heart.

21:40 I didn't have a place in it.

21:53 Who do you come for?

21:55 Who do you look for? Who do you seek?

22:01 Every time you choose silence over the truth of Christ, the system advances. Every time you choose bitterness over forgiveness, the system gains ground in your heart.

22:11 But who are you watching?

22:12 The millions? Or the Lord? Who gets your attention?

22:14 You see my beloved. The one who gets your attention naturally is your sweetheart. There is a hundred girls talking and your Rosella talks.

22:27 The moment your Rosella talks you don't hear any other sound beside your Rosella. You don't see anyone else's face beside your Rosella.

22:56 Why?

22:56 Because the one you love is the one you're focused on.

23:01 The one you love is the one you see. The one you love is the one you hear. The one you love is the very reason for you being there.

23:08 The Lord says, do you love me? Then I need to be your focus.

23:17 Your center of attention.

23:18 When you come to church, I don't want you to see people. I don't want you to see this good looking bishop. That's a nice statement from the Lord. I don't want you to see this good looking bishop. I want you to see me. I want you to hear me. The bishop is a vessel I'm using for my glory. One day he's going to be here. Tomorrow he's not.

23:36 But I, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I am here forever. Are you focused on me?

23:47 I am the true vine.

23:50 And unless you become that branch attached to me, you can never be fruitful. But it takes my father's slashing.

23:59 You in order for you to be fruitful.

24:03 Are you willing.

24:04 To go that extra mile for your Jesus? And obviously, The Lord knows every single one of us. How much we can handle. How much we cannot. He's not going to put a load we can never tolerate.

24:20 He won't. But he wants you to carry a load.

24:23 Even if it's 100 whatever grams.

24:24 Maybe someone will carry 100 kilos. I can only manage 1 kilo. That's okay.

24:28 That's okay.

24:38 It's not about how much I can carry. It's about, am I willing to carry?

24:41 So to someone, maybe a sacrifice is given up on chocolate. And they gave me the other day Swiss chocolate.

24:46 Oh, it's stunning.

24:47 Oh, it's beautiful.

25:02 Maybe to someone it's a struggle to give up on chocolate. They see it and that is a huge sacrifice.

25:08 Lord, you know what?

25:09 I gave up on chocolate for your sake because I chose not to take what I want.

25:13 I want to choose what you choose for me.

25:15 That's good.

25:15 It's a start. but to someone to someone.

25:27 Gave up on everything and lived in the crevices of the mountains and in the wilderness of this world in total isolation when someone.

25:33 Says there is no monks this is Jesus didn't.

25:36 Talk about please Please, how much.

25:54 Are you willing to love the Lord, my dear friend?

25:59 Don't talk like a kid. There are monks and there are hermits and there are people living in the crevices of the mountains as we speak now that are still alive on the face of this earth. And I can assure you there are mighty saints. Because the Lord chose them. Because the Lord knew they were going to go that.

26:16 Extra mile for you.

26:20 You know, it's like someone who is in year 1 trying to prove that year 12 person doesn't understand nothing.

26:30 I know everything.

26:31 The year 1 knows everything. This is how some Christians speak like little kids. You need to grow up in spirituality, my dear friend. Before you talk... You are walking in the path of someone.

26:46 Who is the infinite God.

26:47 Do you think there is a limit to what level the Lord can take you to? If you are not in this level, you can never understand.

26:56 When this person talks.

26:57 Never.

26:57 That year one kid needs to reach.

26:59 Year 12 in order to understand what.

27:02 That year 12 person was saying all along.

27:12 Abide in me. And abide in my word. And then the Lord says my word is. Love.

27:16 Love. Love. I'm love. My law.

27:17 Is fulfilled.

27:18 Based on love. And my love.

27:19 Is seen.

27:20 Perfectly.

27:41 Through law.

27:42 Law without love. Is a sharp sword. That chops heads. But law based on love. Is a disciplinary action. To get your attention.

28:03 To the wrong things you're doing which your Heavenly Father is not pleased with. He's trying to get you fixed and come back and do the right thing.

28:11 Love one another. Very scary statement the Lord says here.

28:13 Love one another the way I have loved you. Lord, please take it easy on me. Relax.

28:15 I'm a kindergarten.

28:33 Boy, love one another the way you loved us?

28:37 How can I love my neighbor the way you have loved me, Lord? Man, I can't even handle one word from my neighbor. You tell me a nasty word, I'll chop your head. You give me those kind of not so very nice looks, I'll give you a hundred million back. You tell me off once, I'll tell you off a hundred times. When will I love.

29:01 My brother, my sister the way the Lord loved me? It's a lesson.

29:05 We try our hardest in any subject when we go to school. Sometimes, in some subjects, we get a 90 out of 100.

29:24 But in Psalm 30, we tried very hard.

29:25 Couldn't get it through my head.

29:26 But the other one was flowing kind of easily. Man, I got 95. Couldn't get it through my head.

29:32 But the other one was flowing kind of easily. Man, I got 95. But in the other one, I failed miserably. I like geography. I can't stand history. I like chemistry. I can't stand biology or physics. I like mathematics. But I don't like advanced English.

29:56 He died to crush the serpent beneath his feet.

30:00 I want to say, can I put that on the paper, teacher? Let's put the prawns on the barbie.

30:08 Would you like a meat pie?

30:11 From Bondi. Oh, that rhymes.

30:13 Meat pie from Bondi.

30:15 The antichrist will not be an obvious horror that shocks you.

30:18 It will be an imitation of the Christ so brilliant, so alluring.

30:23 The more I allow the Lord to work in my life, the more I resemble Him, obviously by His grace, but to a very minute level, the Lord is God. But the Lord is encouraging us, come, love one another the way I have loved you.

30:38 How do you love me, Lord? He says, listen, no matter what you do, my love will not change. But one thing will change.

30:52 My action.

30:55 You see, when parents discipline the kids, that doesn't mean there is a lack of love.

31:02 No, it's quite the contrary.

31:04 Because of the greatness of that love, the parents discipline their children when they do something wrong.

31:10 That seemed impossible to stop.

31:12 The children, on the other hand, they say, mom doesn't love me. Dad doesn't love me because he's too harsh on me.

31:19 You know what? My friend is the best.

31:20 He loves me more than my dad because my friend says to me, it's okay. You can do whatever. You can say whatever. You can go wherever. But my dad doesn't let me. So my friend loves me more than dad. That's where we misunderstand true love.

31:38 Who can make war against him?

31:40 We need to learn. It's a lesson. Love one another the way I have loved you. Are you able to love the one who hurt you? It's a lesson.

31:45 The Lord is willing to teach.

31:47 But are you willing to learn?

31:48 It's a question.

32:03 Must be answered. The Lord is always willing.

32:05 There is no capacity, there is no limit to what he can do and what he can teach.

32:10 But we are the limited ones. But it depends.

32:14 My limit to someone else is very minute. The other one's limit is much bigger than mine. My limit is 1%, the other one is 10%, the other one is 50%, the other one is 80%. And that's why you see some saints and some still struggling in sin. How much are we willing to learn?

32:31 Somebody came and took this eye.

32:32 Can you love that verse? It's Lord. I'm standing on this holy place.

32:36 I can't lie. If I lie, I'll confess.

32:56 From the bottom of my heart, I love that person. I will always love that person. And I will have nothing but love for that person.

33:06 I call them my son. They'll always be my son.

33:09 You know why? Because there is somebody called Jesus Christ of Nazareth. is the crown of this head.

33:18 The crown of glory.

33:19 That's why. Everything is the Lord. Nothing is us. It is the Lord, my friends. Love one another. No matter what. I always say this.

33:41 To people that work in the church.

33:43 I say listen. For as long as we are in the flesh.

33:44 There will always be misunderstandings. There will always be friction.

33:58 There will always be things not going the way you wish them to go.

34:03 This is a given.

34:06 For as long as we are in the flesh, we will always have shortfalls.

34:10 There is one thing.

34:11 Things can go wrong, that's fine.

34:13 We're humans, we learn.

34:22 Somebody said something to me, they shouldn't have. It's okay, it's not the end of the world. But you see, what is the most important and crucial thing ever? When you are hurt by your friend, by your brother, by your sister in Christ, when you're hurt by them, try and ask and beg the Lord Jesus to give you this grace, this gift. Don't ever let that love be affected.

34:48 What I mean by that, when somebody says to me a nasty word, I'm the bishop. And somebody works in the church and comes and tells me off.

34:56 That's okay. Will I get upset? Maybe yes. Will I get hurt?

34:58 Maybe yes.

34:58 But will my love for that person decrease? Never. I won't let that to affect.

35:15 The love of Christ that He gave all of us. I won't let that decrease. I love you, but I'm upset with you.

35:18 I love you, but I'm hurt by you.

35:21 I love you, I'm angry at you, but I love you. And since the love is not affected, The matter can be fixed very easily. You know why things escalate and become extremely complex? Because we allow for the love to change. That's why we struggle.

35:56 That's why we struggle.

35:57 Because they hurt me, I don't love them as much. You know, next time when I look, I'm going to turn the other way. I don't want to see them.

36:11 No, love one another the way I love you. You know, how many times do you hurt the Lord Jesus? You go to him, he's always going to say, hello my son, how I love you.

36:20 He's not going to say, hey, I don't love you anymore, get out of here.

36:24 Now what are you doing here? Go to the club, what are you doing in the church? That's where you belong. No, the Lord embraces you. But does that mean he is not upset with you?

36:34 Yeah, he is.

36:36 Does that mean He's not hurt? He is. Does that mean He's not angry at you? He is.

36:41 But He is all love. And this love, nothing changes it.

36:45 Nothing.

36:46 No matter how many times we sin. No matter how many times we walk away from the Lord. His love is the never changing love. He will love me always the same way. But His reaction to my action Is all dependent. On how I behave. So when he comes and smacks me. He smacks me with love.

37:13 Not with anger.

37:13 Not with hatred. Smacks me with love.

37:15 You know when a father. A genuine father. I'm talking about earthly fathers.
