Lords Helpers

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.

John 15:15

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Jesus tells me in his word that he is the vine and I am a branch. If I remain in him, I will bear lots of fruit. Apart from him, I cannot do anything.

If I turn from him, if I neglect reading my Bible, which is his word, and I do not spend time praying, which is my communication with him, then I am cut off from the vine.

The vine is the life force for the brance. It is the instrument that feeds me, nourishes me, enables me to grow and sustains my life. If that is cut off and I am removed from the vine, I will begin to shrivel up, dry up, and eventually to die. I must have the connection to the life giving force of the vine that allows me to drink from the living water in order to survive.

Are you connected to the vine, Jesus?

Do you feel like you are drying up?

If you are not connected, pick up God’s word, the Bible. Drink from it and begin to live again!
