One of the most interesting ways Jesus talks about being part of His family is when He compares us to trees. He says if we are loving God and everyone else that we will grow fruit. However, anyone that does not grow fruit will be cut off from the tree and thrown away, eventually burned up!
Jesus is our source of life. As we read in chapter 14 and again in 15 we are to allow Jesus’ love to transform us and give us GREAT JOY! When we are living in Christ and his love is real to us, we can’t help but be different and to grow or bear fruit. Isn’t it AWESOME that Jesus calls us friends in this chapter…he says I no longer call you a servant but you are now my friend!
What an exciting chapter…aren’t you just amazed by God’s love?
What do you think about the verse: “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Be blessed today, and bless others with the love of Jesus!!!
