Abide In Jesus

Abide In Jesus

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY: Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.  I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. - John 15:4-6

Abide: Where to Stay When Nothing Lasts
By Jeanne Doyon

Abide. This word has been on my heart lately as I study John chapter 15. We don’t use the word abide much anymore—maybe never—because nothing seems to last.

Marriages fail.
Riches flee.
Cars break down.
Health deteriorates.
Friends fail.
Churches split.
Relationships cool.
Possessions break.
Quality erodes.
Trust shatters.
Nothing lasts.

But, Jesus says:

Abide. Stay. Remain. Trust that I AM your constant. I will never turn my back on you. I AM the one you can trust. When all else is falling apart, I will remain. I will be your rock and shield.

Psalm 91:1 says, Abide in the shadow of the Almighty. To me this means:

Not running ahead or lagging behind.

Under His protection
Surrounded by His presence
Shielded from my enemies
Covered with His hand
Resting in His power and sovereignty
Sure of His knowledge and leading
Trusting in His timing and care

God Covers You – Good News for Us

So when we face shattered pieces and people around us, know that God is covering you with His shadow. This is news our world needs. It is the hope that anchors us. It is the message He wants you to carry and proclaim…

God says:

I will abide. My love will remain. My grace and mercy will be poured out. Forgiveness will be found because I AM is faithful. Abide in me, and I in you (John 15).

What does Abide mean to you, and how do you need His close presence today?

Will you remain under the covering of His shadow?

“Abide in Jesus”

Wow?

There is just so much in those three words. So much hope, so much satisfaction, so much security. The “all” that is in these words. Brings the heart to a paused contemplation, that I sometimes think that if I could just to that, all other things would take care of themselves. 

“Oh Lord God cause us to know this abiding, in all reality and all truth”

Blessings for the post. 

Much love in Christ, Not me

John 15 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible, and as I was meditating on this post, John 12:24 came to mind:

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."

And then verse 25 says, "He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal."

Jesus was talking about His own death in John 12:24, but I'm seeing it relate to us abiding in Christ as well. Abiding in Christ, the vine, is more than just hanging on to Him; it's dying to self. If we simply hang on to the vine without dying to self, the fruit we produce will be defiled with our own agendas and come to nothing. (John 15:5- Apart from Me you can do nothing.) It's when we hang on to Him and die to ourselves that enables Him to bear His fruit through us.

I'm still chewing on this . . .

Hi;

If you wouldn’t mind me saying so; 

And chewing on it your doing well.

For in this truth of us having died with Christ on the cross.  As the death that we needed to die, that we might be made freed from self, so we might walk in newness of life. 

Oh blessings as you chew and God opens up this truth in you, so you might share the increase of Christ in you, your hope of glory. 

Blessings as you, me, we, all that are willing,  would chew on such a great and awesome truth. 

Much love in Christ, Not me
