For Without Me Ye Can Do Nothing

2021-07-24

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. (John 15:5)

The branch does not derive any strength from itself. One hundred percent of its life comes from the vine. It is the same for us in our relationship to Jesus Christ. All of our life comes from Him. However, we appeal to the natural life in so many things. We confuse natural talent with spiritual gift.

We trust Christ with everything. Every menial task or significant endeavor must derive strength from Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.
