In John 15, Jesus gives a vivid image of what it means to be in union with him. It’s the image of a branch and vine. What Jesus does is help us see that if we are to have an abundant life within the kingdom of heaven, we must abide in Him. Part of remaining in Jesus are the intentional daily rhythms every person needs to grow as an apprentice of Jesus. It’s one thing to say you love Jesus, it’s another to desire and submit my daily patterns that enable me to live a life that demonstrates his influence in my life. For apart from Him we bear no fruit in for the kingdom of God.
