“Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.”
John 15:2 KJV
Jesus is teaching His disciples about His Father, “He cares for the branches connected to Me by lifting and propping up the fruitless branches and pruning every fruitful branch to yield a greater harvest.” God takes up to Himself every fruitless branch, He doesn’t remove the branches. As the wise and loving Farmer, He lifts them up off the ground to enhance their growth. Christ’s endless love for His disciples on the last night of His life on earth, seems to emphasise God’s love even for those who fail and disappoint Him. Peter’s denial didn’t bring rejection from Jesus. These teachings that Jesus spoke cleansed or pruned the disciples as they do today when we keep on abiding in God’s Word. Let’s be those who know how to relate to Him through abiding in His Word. Amen!
