Big Idea: The life of a disciple doesn’t begin with fruit, it begins with abiding. Fruit is the echo of our connection to Jesus.
Application: This week, take some time to reflect (pray, journal, share with someone else) on what your abiding in Jesus looks like. Ask yourself the following questions: What does my relationship with Jesus entail? Am I producing much fruit as a result of this abiding? If the fruit I see is not of the Spirit, what am I truly abiding in, remaining in, or continuing with? Where do I consistently find myself returning?
