In John 14 (after the opening verses) we have first Christ himself on earth, and the Father seen in Him; then Christ in heaven, and we knowing by the Comforter sent down that we are in Him and He in us. In chapter 15 is our place on earth (the true place of the disciples then with him, but still in principle our place on earth now), not in heavenly union but in responsibility, first, for fruit, then for love—both that our joy may be full, and His joy abide in us; for both were fulfilled in him as he intimates.
