John 15:12-17 Living As Jesus' Friends
Jesus clarifies the command that he has given, in which the disciples must abide. They are to love one another as He has loved them. Jesus defines this by saying there is no greater love than someone laying down his life for his friends. Then Jesus shows them how they are his friend. In this we see more clearly the life of discipleship and disciple-making.

John 14:15-24 The Gospel Relationship (Part 1)
Jesus is still comforting His disciples, as He gives them reasons they should not let their hearts be troubled. We got a glimpse of the perfect love relationship that the Father, Son, and Spirit have eternally enjoyed. It is this perfect relationship that the gospel calls us into. In verses 15-24, Jesus will describe this love relationship between the God-head and the believer. He says the one who loves Jesus keeps His commandments, and He also shows how the Father and Son love the believer and make their home with them. Likewise, the Spirit indwells the one who loves Jesus. In these verses we see what the eternal relationship we are called into looks like.
