• A man (for in verse 6 He carefully changes the expression, for He knew the disciples and had pronounced them already clean)—a man, anyone who bore no fruit, would be cut off. For the subject here is not that relationship with Christ in heaven by the Holy Spirit, which cannot be broken, but of that link which even then was formed here below, which might be vital and eternal, or which might not. Fruit should be the proof. (“John 15” by J.N. Darby)
• Christ being the sole source of fruit, to abandon Him is fatal; and so much the worse, if so at the last, when He should be the more precious, as the worthlessness of all else is learnt practically, and His excellency better known to faith. So it was with Judas, so in general with those not born of God who essay to follow Jesus. (“John 15” by W. Kelly)
• The Vine insists on communion as the condition of bearing fruit. In no case do such trees necessarily imply life, but the possession of privilege, as the olive, and the responsibility of bearing fruit, as the vine. To leave Christ, therefore, is utter ruin, not only to be fruitless, but to burn. It is not merely suffering loss as in 1 Cor. 3:15, but to be manifestly lost, as in 1 Cor. 9:27. (“John 15” by W. Kelly)
