Dr. Sproul first looks at Jesus' statement to abide in His love and keep His commandments. He next discusses what it means to be called a friend. From the concept of love Dr. Sproul moves to how the world not only receives Him with hatred but how to the world will also receive His disciples with hatred. Further this hatred is many times expressed without cause, but we are admonished to remember we will have the Spirit of truth.

Praise the Father, Praise the Son, by Chris Tomlin.
O sov'reign God, O matchless King-
the saints adore, the angels sing
and fall before the throne on grace to you
belongs the highest praise. These sufferings,
this passing tide under Your wings
I will abide, and every enemy shall flee;
You are my hope and victory.
Praise the Father, Praise the Son.
Praise the Spirit, Three in One.
Clothed in power and in grace
the name above all other names.
To the valley, for my soul;
Thy great descent has made me whole!
You word my heart has welcomed home;
now peace like water ever flows.

Tim Keller discusses Psalm 1, and its counsel on coming before the Lord. A good word on what Christian mediation is. Below is Psalm 1, followed by a link to Keller's sermon.
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
Do horses run on rocks? Does one plow the sea with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood-Amos 6:12
