Abide in Jesus

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in me." — John 15:4 

God calls us to abide in Jesus.

Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself without the vine.

So I can't bear fruit unless I abide in Jesus.

Yesterday we celebrated the first day of spring.

Also called the vernal or spring equinox.

Hard to believe it's spring already!

The rain we've been having is causing the flowers to bloom.

And the flowers are gorgeous this year.

The grass is green, and the landscape is beautiful.

Glory to God.

Abide in Me

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches: He who abides in Me, and in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” — John 15:4-5 

Jesus asks us to abide or remain in Him.

Just as a branch can't bear. much fruit by itself, it needs to be connected to the vine.

Otherwise, it will wither and die without a connection to it's life source.

When I'm not connected with God, I wither and die.

Without His nourishment, I dont' have the energy to go on.

But God wants me to bear much fruit.

Without Him I can do nothing.

Abide in God's Love

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love. — John 15:9

God has loved us with an everlasting love.

Jesus loved us enough to die for us, even before we said we were sorry.

To abide in His love is to read His Word.

And worship Him.

And talk with Him in prayer.

God loves us and sent His Son to die for us.

We are loved. We are blessed.
