And Is Withered

When the Lord Jesus Christ says "in me" (John 15:6), does He mean a man who believes, or a man only hanging on the outside? Read "At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me" (John 14:20), and ask who the "ye" are. Then ask how a man falls from an apostleship he never had, when Peter says "Judas by transgression fell" (Acts 1:25). "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." (John 15:6)
