The Christ Tree, Part 2 of 5. Jesus says, "He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit." What does it mean to bear fruit? Pastor Matt continues his Christmas series by explaining that bearing good fruit is to do good, following the commands of the Bible. Proving to be disciples of Jesus means that we love one another (John 15:8 and 13:34-35), and exhibit the fruit of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal. 5:22-23).
