John 15:5
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
What it means
Jesus pictures himself as the vine and his people as the branches. A branch bears fruit not by straining but by staying connected, drawing life from the vine hour by hour. Cut off, it can do nothing; joined to him, it flourishes. This gently reorders our striving. The Christian life is less about self-effort than abiding, remaining in his love and word, letting his life flow through us until real, lasting fruit appears that could only have come from him.
Read it, pray it, live it
On The Living Bread you can read the whole chapter, save this verse, ask Simon to explain it, pray it over your life, and share it with someone who needs it today.
