So what Jesus is saying is If you remain connected to me. If you abide in me. If you rest in me. If you remain in me. If you intentionally cultivate intimacy with me. In the quiet places. Where no one is watching. In prayer. In meditation on my words. Then you will bear fruit.
Because to be connected to the true vine also means that we are connected to the other branches. There is no such thing as an isolated Christian without community in the New Testament.
Jesus says If you remain connected to my people. If you come to church. If you meet in small groups. If you pray and worship together. If you bear each other’s burdens. Then you will bear fruit.
