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. As we abide in our homes during the pandemic, we need to remember that we must abide in Jesus to bear fruit, to glorify the Father, and to be filled with joy!
Because God's power is greater than ours, we ought to obey God, knowing that the joy he gives is greater than suffering humans can...
Although the son of Elizabeth would be great, the son of Mary would be even greater!
Instructions to slaves and masters orient all Christians toward commitment and service to the Lord Jesus.
