“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
Many times we read the words of Scriptures and if we are not careful we do not see the real significance in the words we read.
Jesus said, 'apart from me you can do nothing'; Paul states in Colossians that all things exist because of him - visible and invisible.
When everything is going right in our world we may not give these words a second thought but when we can't get out of bed in the morning these words take on a whole different meaning. We realize that we are not autonomous, not self-sufficient and not independent. We do not exist by ourselves.
May we keep abiding in Christ so we continue to live and function in this world bearing much fruit.
