In our zeal to produce “results” for our Lord, we sometimes become so intent on fruit production that we neglect abiding in Christ. We may feel that “abiding” is not as productive or that it takes too much time away from our fruit production. Yet Jesus said that it is not our activity that produces fruit, it is our relationship with Him.
One of the most dramatic acts Jesus ever performed was cursing a fig tree that had failed to produce fruit. (Mark 11:14)
Are you comfortable in abiding? Remain steadfast in relationship with Jesus and a harvest will be the natural by-product.
John 15
