Text: John 15: 1-4
It’s amazing how one ordinary day can be changed in a moment. March Madness has a whole new meaning! COVID-19 has shut down our nation! Everything has come to a halt! There are so many people quoting scripture, which is good, but we need to be connected to the Source! We can’t stand on scripture if we’re not connected to it’s Author! If we’re not, we are only reciting words. We need to know where we stand with God. God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, even during these times. And, we won’t live in fear if we’re connected to The True Vine! Every religion has a form of Jesus, but many don’t acknowlege His Diety. Jesus has no comparisons and no equals. He is the True Vine! He is God! We need to put our trust in Him! He will provide! Abide in Him and He will abide is us. Then, we will know the real love and peace. The Lord wants us to bear fruit and we cannot do that by ourselves. It is a process and it takes time, pruning, and submitting to the Lord. God is working things out in us, but it takes time to show the true intentions of the heart. It takes time for things to be exposed. The biggest mistake we could make is taking glory away from God. Everything we do, we do unto the Lord and for the Lord, to produce good fruit. If Jesus is not the Lifeline, the Source, and the Emphasis, what we do is worthless. Who are you connected to? Who is your source?
