How Can Things Become Possible?

John 15:5–8 CSB

5 I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me. 6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you. 8 My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be my disciples.

Jesus addressing the early church(the disciples), says: I AM THE VINE YOUR ARE THE BRANCHES

The symbolism of vine and branches represents the church and Christ relationship.

JESUS CHRIST THE SUPPORT

Jesus Christ is the incarnate Word of God, the Creator and Savior of the world, the founder of Christianity, and the sinless exemplar of its principles and practices.

The disciples were a small sample of the globe church today. The branch is every person who professes to be a disciple of Christ.

PICTURE OF A VINE

The purpose of the branch is to display the beauty of the vine ( the fruit, the work or the produce. In Gal. 5:22 the Apostle Paul list the fruit of Spirit- the produce and habits of those in whom the Spirit dwells.

REMAIN IN ME

To think possible throughout our lives, regardless of what’s happening in the world and our lives is not how we feel, but who we are connected to.

It is said “Whoever get your attention, gives you direction”

Jesus says to us, REMAIN IN ME. The word remain | abide | stay or hold.

-How to remain in Christ?

First, accept Jesus Christ as your savior

Second, persevere in believing - through faith

To remain in Christ we must not be hearer only but must dwell- mediating or internalizing the word of God and applying it to your circumstance.

GOD IS PLEASED

If you and I want to pleased God, lets be those branches to are connected to Christ, Christ can can great work through if we hold on to him. We can bear fruit, that please God.

Jesus says when we produce much fruit, we are His true disciples. This brings great glory to God the Father our Lord Jesus Christ.
