There is a word that runs through Jesus' farewell discourse and appears eleven times in John 15:1-17 in one form or another. It can be translated as abide, remain, stay, continue, dwell.

If someone hears a message but does not act upon it, sometimes we say that “it went in one ear and out the other.”...

To be ready for Jesus’ coming, we need to be doing what he has already told us to do.
