Jesus makes it very clear that when we attach to the true vine (Jesus), He produces in us fruits that enrich our lives and change our world. We cannot, apart from Christ, find meaning and fulfillment in life.
It is great being in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” As you live in Christ, what is valuable will begin to surface as the old passes away and the new comes.
I know we confronted some hard issues in the past several weeks, and I hope each of us has asked some honest questions about our spiritual life and health. But this week I want you to take some time to just enjoy abiding in Christ. As you do, you will begin to find deep pleasure in times of worship. You will look forward to connecting with God’s people in fellowship. The Bible will be more than a book to read, it will be a tool that God uses to disciple your heart. You will want to participate in the ministry of the church, and you will see your world differently.
Learn to enjoy the life of Christ in you. You are amazing people. I thank God for the privilege of growing in my faith as you grow in yours and as we grow together. Don’t forget to pray about God’s will for the land.
