Abide in Me
How do we abide in Christ so that we can bear “much fruit?” In John (15:5) we read that apart from Jesus we can do nothing. Challenging words from our Savior. What does it mean for us in our world today? As members of His Apostolic Church, we find that we are never alone, never without our Lord whose grace sustains us.
It won’t be easy, Jesus promised that! But the Vine that is Jesus nourishes us as we seek to do His will. He shows us all the ways we can bear much fruit.
