當農夫栽種葡萄樹時，他總是很用心。他會確保土壤有充足的水分，農夫會保護小樹苗免於暴風雨的侵襲，他也會修剪葡萄樹上的枝子，好讓它們成長茁壯。在今天的經文中，耶穌將自己比喻作一棵葡萄樹，祂說跟隨祂的人就像是連結於葡萄樹的枝子：「那常跟我連結，而我也常跟他連結的，必定結很多果實；因為沒有我，你們就甚麼也不能做」（第5b節）。 如果枝子連結於樹，它便會常保茁壯並結出果子，但如果風將它吹落，它就會枯死。同理，當連結於耶穌，我們就能夠成長並帶領其他人到祂面前；但是，如果不連結於耶穌，我們的靈性就會死去。 今天就連結於耶穌，讀經並更加認識祂，然後去向你遇到的人分享救恩的福音。 —DG 「我父親將因你們結很多果實而得到榮耀，而你們也因此成為我的門徒。」 約翰福音15:8
禱告：天父，我願連結於耶穌。奉主的名，阿們！

Stay Connected

A farmer is very careful when he plants a vine. He makes sure that the soil has enough water. The farmer protects the small vine from wind and storms. And he trims the branches on the vine so that they will grow strong. In our Bible verses today, Jesus compared Himself to a vine. And He said that people who follow Him are the branches connected to the vine. “If you stay joined to me, and I to you, you will produce plenty of fruit. But separated from me, you won’t be able to do anything” (verse 5b). If a tree branch is connected to a tree, it will stay strong and make fruit. But if the wind blows it down, it will die. In the same way, when we stay connected to Jesus, we will be able to grow and bring others to Him. But if we do not stay connected to Jesus, we will die spiritually. Stay connected to Jesus today. Read the Bible and learn more about Him. Then share the Good News about salvation with everyone you meet. —DG “Show that you are my followers by producing much fruit. This will bring honor to my Father.” John 15:8
PRAYER: Father, I want to stay connected to Jesus. In His name. Amen. |
