John 15:8

My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.

From Background Notes [BN] for April 5th & 6th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Of special interest is the progressive nature of fruit-bearing in our text:

Bear Fruit → Bear More Fruit →Bear Much Fruit


That is, Jesus fully expects that his disciples will become increasingly fruitful. Once he returns to the Father, after his death and resurrection, the disciples will advance the work he has begun and multiply its fruit in the world. [BN, 4]
