Sermon #279
The word "Abide" is not one that we use in conversation very often, if at all. It means to dwell, or to remain. It also means to live and be connected to, which is surely what Jesus had in mind when he told his followers to abide in him. He gives us the image of a vine with branches bearing fruit, and he calls us to be those branches and to remain or abide in the vine. In truth, we can do nothing apart from Christ, the true vine. And so we need to practice our faith in such a way that we remain connected to Christ so that we can bear much fruit.
