BRANCHES

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. ... without Me you can do nothing. 
    Jesus tells His disciples the truth of life is in Him, every single person has life because of Him, no one is exempt, if Christ has not given life it does not exist. Someone may consider, but what about those who do not believe, even they exist because of Jesus. Listen to John 1:2-3 (NKJV) 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. Jesus is the author of life and everything exists through Him, without Him we cannot take our next breath.
   The above verse is now clearly understood, we are a branch of Gods Vine, (Jesus) the branch that depends on Him will thrive and produce fruit, the branch that refuses the rich Graces of God will wither and die.
    Are you thriving in His abundant nutrient rich Word or languishing in the dying throes of drought? We are either producing fruit for God or calling attention from the Gardener to take the dead branches off the Vine. Without Him we can do nothing.
Heavenly Father your Love is amazing, we are counted part of the Vine of your vineyard until we prove that is not our choice. Help us to choose Life and obedience to You that we may produce the fruit of righteousness. Amen
