Abiding in Jesus

Jesus tells us in John 10 that His sheep follow Him and that they know His voice. This means we have the ability to discern His voice from all the other voices in our lives. We simply need to dial it down, turn off all the media that are shouting for our attention, and intentionally tune into the voice of God. Let’s do that for these next few minutes as we consider this passage from the Living Word of God.

John 15:1,4,5,16 NASB
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 16 You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.”
