Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt
Jesus said, "Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit" (John 15:5). What does this mean? How does one abide in Jesus? Let me suggest an analogy.
When we put a tea bag in a cup of hot water, something amazing happens to the water. As the tea bag remains or abides in that water, the tea begins to color and flavor the water until the water begins to take on the color and the taste of the tea. The longer the bag abides in the water, the stronger the color and taste of the tea.
That is similar to what happens when we abide in Christ and He abides in us. The longer we abide in Christ and the deeper we go with Christ, the more His influence will pervade our lives so that we begin to reflect HIs nature and His character.
