Page 20-The Chronicle, Th chun Bishop S.D Johnsor Church Of The W Mac< By Beverly McCarthy Staff Writer ...Jesus said, "I am the true vine, arid my Father i^ the husbandman. Every . branch in me that beareth not fruit he takcth assay: and every - branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit..." John 15:1. Macedonia True Vine Pentecostal Holiness C'hurch, Inc., must indeed be a branch in Jesus Christ. One can tell by the amount of fruit that the church is bearing, that it is feasting abundantly off the hlossinus - ? - c of God. The special thing about Macedonia, is that it* pastor and congregation diare those blessings with the community. Macedonia True Vine Pentecostal Holiness Church grew out of a vision of the late Bishop W.M. lohnson. After months ol prayer and seeking God, lohnson started a new Jemonimation in the bod> of Christ. This new denomination became known as the "True Vine Pentecostal Holiness Church." Under Johnson'^ leadership, congregations in True Vine were formed in the Carolina*, Virginia, and Maryland. In I960, Johnson led what had once been a small mission with eight members, to build a church structure located at 500 kinard Drive. Following the death ot his father, Sylvester D. Johnson, became pastor ot Macedonia. Under the new Bishop's Jircction, the church assets increased tremendously. Also, True Vine churches > p r c a d throughout Maryland, Indiana, Georgia, Ohio, Illinois. Louisiana, New York, New lersey, and Trinidad. Not v-mly is Bishop Johnson pastor of Macedonia which is the headquarters of a national denomination, but he is a well known communit\ leader as well. Macedonia is much more than just a house of worship. The church is verv ar tive in the Winston-Salem md surrounding areas communities. One of Bishop lohnson's principles is that he church should do more han just, "Save Souls." Several outreach programs ire sponsored through the ;hurch. Macedonia Arms Apartments and The Macedonia .Senior Citi/cns Club, arc both methods (hat the congregation uses to spread the love of Jesus to the needy. The church ilso sponsors a bus ft I l ursdas.

The narrative included: a prediction of His second l coming; the coming of the Holy Spirit; fellowship in the parable of the vine and the! branches; a warning of their future persecution and grief at His departure. These words of Jesus are often referred to as His "farewell discourses," which He I delivered between the time of the celebration of the last supper and the time of Hi* I arrival at the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives. Lesson Explained Jesus' high priestly prayer for glorification came after He had instructed Hi* I disciples about the coming of the Holy Spirit during His absence from them. Thi* I prayer was heard by His disciples and seems not to have occurred in the Uppet I room. (Jn. 14:31; 18:1). Jesus took the time to pray because of the fast moving! events of His betrayal, false trials, torture and crucifixion. He lift - His eyes toward I heaven and addressed His Father, desiring to be glorified by God that He, in turn. I may glorify His Father. How will He glorify God? In taking upon Himself all the I burdens of human sorrow and exhausting the poison of the sting of death, He will be I glorifying His Father. (Jn. 2l1l9). God has given Jesus authority to make it possible for His followers to have eterna! I life; the life that only Christ can give to those who believe and accept Him. (Vs^2T? Jesus explained that "eternal life" is to know "the only true God and Jesu*1 Christ." Note here, that Jesus associated knowledge of the Father with a knowledge I of Himself. (Vs. 3). Verse 4 reveals of having completed His work which included His death and resur I rection before they took place in history. Jesus asked His Father to give back to Him the glory which He had before the I world was, and which He had laid aside in the incarnation. His prayer was answered I through the fulfillment of the resurrection and assension. We also see how the I Father glorified His Son in Philippians 2:9-11). [ "I have manifested thy name"...is parallel to "1 have glorified Thee." The word! "men^ used in verse 6 means His disciples-jvljq had*rf?<lfved Htm-as. His fatherV I weH- beloved Son. 1 Ji ^ y UI a1 In verses 7-19 (not printed) Jesus prayed for His disciples that they might have I ioy, be kept from the evil one, and be sanctified by truth and be sent into the world. I But verse 20 shows that He was not thinking only of His disciples, He was looking I ahead to all who would believe on Him through their word. This includes all genera-1 tions. The essence of this petition is that all believers might be one - united in rela-1 tionship to one another; as in the unity of the Father with the Son. The result of this I unity will be "that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." The world would I become convinced of God's divine origin and love. I Verse 24 shows that Jesus wanted His own to join Him in His glory, where they I would share in the love of the heavenly home. The first two uses of the word "known" in verse 25 means more than an I awareness of facts; it carries with it the idea of relationship. The people of the world! have no relationship to the Father, but'the Son does. Jesus concluded His prayer by I saying that He had taught the people about God and that He would continue to I teach the love of God through the churches with the aid of the Holy Spirit. Truth To Live By I 1. We glorify God when we participate sacrificially in His work in the world. 2. Jesus desires unity among believers. I P.A.
