“Get Connected”
Saturday, November 2, 2024Key Verse
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5
Text — John 15:5-11
Message
James was given a toy car for his 7th birthday. It was a perfect gift that he had always wished for to play with his friends. However, when he unpacked it, it had no light, no power and could not move. Daddy assured him that he could fix it for him. He checked and found that it could either be powered by a battery or the cord be plugged into the socket. He plugged it and the car roared to life and moved.
Our Bible passage gives us the principle of having the right connection with Jesus, the Source of life. Without Jesus who is our source of power, we can actually do nothing. When a branch of a tree is cut off from the tree, it becomes worthless and dries up eventually, so it is with us. Get connected to Christ by reading His word daily, praying always, obeying His commandments, living a holy life and telling others how much He cares for your connection with Jesus will make your life fruitful of good works and attract great blessings into your life.
