Jesus is the vine, and WE are the branches.
Fruit bearing trees don’t command fruit to grow — it just happens because they are connected to the tree or the vine.
If we are truly connected to The Vine, we will bear fruit as followers of Christ.
Jesus promises three things if we remain in him (or obey and bear fruit)
Our prayers will be answered.
We will have overflowing joy.
We will have deepening love for others.
Are you truly connected to the vine? Are you growing? What do you need to prune away from your life so that God can grow his blessings in you and through you and all around you?
