"Expositions of Holy Scripture: St. John Chaps. XV to XXI" by Alexander Maclaren is a late 19th-century exploration of the final chapters of the Gospel of John. The book examines Jesus's teachings, mainly focusing on love, unity, and the bond between Jesus and his disciples. Maclaren introduces the metaphor of the vine and branches, explaining how followers must stay connected to Christ to thrive, like how a branch needs the vine to produce fruit. He talks about how "pruning"—getting rid of what isn't helpful—can be hard but leads to more growth for those who remain close to Christ. Also, Maclaren emphasizes how much Christ loves his followers and how they should love each other, showing that being a true follower means obeying Christ's teachings and living out that faith together.
