When Jesus speaks of “fruit that will last,” He isn’t talking about momentary inspiration or temporary spiritual highs, but the kind of transformation that comes from His life flowing through ours. Lasting fruit is the evidence of real union with Christ - character shaped into His likeness, obedience born from love, and lives that point others toward Him. This is the invitation for 2026: not to try harder, but to remain in Jesus so His life bears fruit in us that truly lasts.
