Juan 15:11

11 Estas cosas os he hablado, para que mi gozo esté en vosotros, y vuestro gozo sea perfecto.

Juan 15:11 Meaning and Commentary

John 15:11

These things have I spoken unto you
Concerning the vine and branches, his abiding in them, and they in him, their fruitfulness from him, and perseverance in him, his love to them, and theirs to him:

that my joy might remain in you;
meaning either that joy with which he joyed in and over them, as united to him, and which is of the same nature as the joy of the bridegroom over the bride, and which will always remain and continue the same; or rather that joy which he is the author, object, ground, and matter of, for there is always reason to rejoice in him, even in the most afflictive circumstances of life:

and that your joy might be full;
that grace of joy which is implanted in the soul, by the Spirit of God in regeneration, and arises from, and is increased by discoveries of the person, grace, blood, righteousness, and sacrifice of Christ; and is "full of glory", ( 1 Peter 1:8 ) ; upon a clear sight of him in this life, and will be entirely full, completely perfected in the other world, when he will be seen as he is,

Juan 15:11 In-Context

9 Como el Padre me ha amado, así también yo os he amado; permaneced en mi amor.

10 Si guardáis mis mandamientos, permaneceréis en mi amor, así como yo he guardado los mandamientos de mi Padre y permanezco en su amor.

11 Estas cosas os he hablado, para que mi gozo esté en vosotros, y vuestro gozo sea perfecto.

12 Este es mi mandamiento: que os améis los unos a los otros, así como yo os he amado.

13 Nadie tiene un amor mayor que éste: que uno dé su vida por sus amigos.
