Connected to the Vine – John 15:5
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
Reflection: This metaphor beautifully illustrates our need for constant connection with Jesus. Just as branches receive life from the vine, we receive spiritual life and strength from Christ. Remaining in Him isn’t a one-time decision but a daily choice to stay connected through prayer, Scripture, and obedience. When we maintain this connection, fruit naturally follows – we don’t have to force it.
Prayer of the Day: Jesus, keep me closely connected to You today. Let Your life flow through me, producing fruit that honors You. Help me remember I can do nothing meaningful apart from You. Amen.
