跟耶穌連結

跟耶穌連結

電視遙控器是一個很棒的裝置，但是如果裡面的電池沒電了，或者根本沒有裝電池，那麼遙控器一點用處也沒有。沒有電源，我們就不能讓遙控器發揮作用。
在今天閱讀的經文中，耶穌對祂的門徒說話，祂說自己是葡萄樹，而門徒是枝子。在第4節，耶穌說：「你們要常跟我連結，我就常跟你們連結。要是不跟我連結，你們就不能結出果實，正像枝子不跟葡萄樹連接就不能結果實一樣。」
我們可以透過禱告、讀經和順服跟耶穌連結，但是當我們不跟耶穌連結時，我們就失去了祂的能力，然後就無法向人施展祂的愛和善工了。
今天就想一想自己的生命，你一定要跟耶穌連結，並且在祂裡面成長。 —BF*

「我是葡萄樹；你們是枝子。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。」 約翰福音15:5

禱告：親愛的上帝，我願永遠跟耶穌連結。奉主的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: John 15:1-8

　A TV remote control is a wonderful device. But if the batteries in the remote control are dead or there are no batteries at all, the remote control is useless. We cannot make a remote control work without a power source.
In our Bible Reading today, Jesus talked to His disciples. He said that He is like a vine and His disciples are like the branches. In verse 4 Jesus said, “Stay joined to me and I will stay joined to you. No branch can produce fruit alone. It must stay connected to the vine. It is the same with you. You cannot produce fruit alone. You must stay joined to me.”
We can stay joined to Jesus through prayer, Bible study and our obedience. But when we do not stay joined to Jesus, we do not have His power. Then we are not able to show His love and good works to other people.
Think about your life today. Be sure that you are joined to Jesus and are growing in Him. —BF*

“I am the vine, and you are the branches. 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.” John 15:5

PRAYER: Dear God, I want to always be joined to Jesus. In His name. Amen.
