Abide in Jesus (Branch Illustration) — Francis Chan

so Jesus makes it clear that if I'm not connected to him I am guaranteed no fruit he says it very clearly abide in me and I on you as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine neither can you unless you abide in me I brought a branch look if we all work together do you think we could make this branch bear fruit no it's I mean you could tape like an apple to it or so you know and make it look like Ono look look and I feel like we do this sometimes we work so hard but man this branch has it's got no chance okay he can try like you know like nothing nothing's gonna happen and Jesus says that's how ridiculous you look when you're not with me you're not abiding in me he's out working you're gonna labor in vain even trial the stuff I'm gonna think and you talk to all these people with all these different strategies but I promise you if you're not abiding at me you're not gonna have any fruit that lasts no real fruits gonna happen so everything everything depends on this but then he says in the very next verse he goes armed the vine you are the branches whoever abides in me and I in him he it is that bears much fruit so then there's a guarantee okay see this is what I'm saying don't stress out about all these other things Jesus Christ I mean these were his words he guarantees he's if you abide in me he is the one that's gonna bear much fruit look I struggle with this I'll see people in the earth doing amazing things and I'll start thinking man maybe I did it wrong maybe I should have done it like him seems like he's accomplishing more seems like she's accomplishing more we'll look at all these people everywhere and we start trying to follow all these patterns instead of just going back to wait boy oh my god you promised if I just abide in you and you abide in me I'm guaranteed to bear fruit are you abiding in Jesus today
