Passage: John 15:1-8 

Jesus lived the Word.  He quoted, taught, explained, preached, loved and obeyed the Word, but with penetrating insight. “Abiding” is not just knowing the Word or memorizing the Word, but “abiding” is allowing the Word to take root in our souls and shape us, such that we are set apart for Kingdom impact.   Difference Makers follow Jesus’ pattern of keeping the Word a central part of their lives.
