Maundy Thursday
"God's Grape Expectations."
John15:1-8
In John 15:7-8 – “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish (pray), and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”
Notice the active things that you and I can do, as we daily abide in Jesus. We can study God’s Word, pray, and show we’re Jesus’ disciples through our loving and caring actions. Think of these daily spiritual habits like a trellis in a garden. The true vine (Jesus) is totally responsible for our growth. But, the trellis helps us grow properly and in the right direction. Without the trellis, the branches are only going to produce a fraction of what they’re capable of. In the same way, as we take deliberate steps, prioritize, and arrange for more quality time with Jesus, think of the spiritual impact all our worshiping, studying God’s Word, praying, witnessing, and serving will generate.
