Thank You, Lord, for reminding us that we are not going to do life alone. We are a part of the Tree of Life. We are all in this together. ~amen
No branch can bear fruit by itself. Ain’t that the truth? I know this verse is about remaining attached to the vine with the root system. We all know that it is about staying close to Jesus. I would also like to point out how it is important to stick with each other.
Yes, the real meaning of going through life is that you only need Jesus in your life. He is your salvation, the way, the truth, and the life. However, He never meant for you to bear fruit by yourself. He meant for us to be a part of the whole tree. The tree of life in the center of the Garden of Eden was the ultimate representation of well, LIFE! Jesus is the root system that holds all of us together. He is where we get all our nutrition. But that tree was not a trunk sticking straight up with no branches growing every which way, and leaves, and yes, fruit! We are those branches that support, protect, and encourage each other to grow.
By the way, I like to think of the Holy Spirit as the trunk that carries everything back and forth between the branches and the roots. We are all connected together here and the Holy Spirit will keep us tall and strong, while Jesus is the root system that keeps us fed and stable. See, we are never alone! Now I am going to be like a tree and leave! Sorry, it is the meds…LOL!
