John 15:4 CSB
Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me.
When it’s time to prune the peach tree, I don’t keep the branch. I keep the tree! Away from the tree, the pruned branches die. If I want peaches, I certainly can’t prune all the branches, I need to leave them attached to the tree! John gives us a great image of the importance of remaining in Jesus.
