Abiding In Jesus

Text: John 15: 5

ABIDING IN JESUS

This truth was deep and profound. Thus, Jesus had to devote time to explain this truth carefully.

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”

John 15:5

1. “I am the vine, you are the branches”

a. This was a truth that was worth repeating.
b. The relationship between Jesus and His disciples must be firmly established.

2. “He who abides in Me, and I in him”

a. The concept of abiding must be drawn from Jesus’ example.
b. He had shown how He abided in the Father.
c. He had also shown how He had remained committed to His Disciples.
d. The Disciples must seek to practise what they had been taught.

3. “Bears much fruit”

a. The bearing of fruit is an important point to note.
b. The Disciple who is truly abiding in Jesus would bear fruit.
i. There would firstly be growth in his life.
ii. Then he would find success in his ministry.
iii. Fruitfulness in life and ministry indicates that the believer is abiding in the Lord.

4. Fruitlessness is not to be taken lightly

a. Fruitlessness is like an indicator.
b. It may indicate that the believer may not be abiding in the Lord.

5. “For without Me you can do nothing”

a. Many foolishly do not practise abiding in the Lord.
b. They abide in themselves instead:
i. They abide in their own thoughts.
ii. They abide in their experience.
iii. The abide in human or worldly wisdom.
iv. They find out painfully that they can do nothing significant without Christ at all.

Let us determine to practise abiding in the Lord Jesus Christ that we may bear much fruit.

经文：约翰福音 15：5

常在耶稣里面

这真理十分深奥。耶稣因此花时间更细心地解释。

“我是葡萄树，你们是枝子。常在我里面的，我也常在他里面，这人就多结果子；因为离了我，你们就不能做什么。”

《约翰福音 15：5》

1. “我是葡萄树，你们是枝子”

a. 这真理值得再次重复
b. 耶稣与门徒的关系必须被稳固

2. “常在我里面的，我也常在他里面”

a. “常在”的概念必须从耶稣为榜样理解
b. 祂表现出自己常在父神里面
c. 祂也一直忠于门徒们
d. 门徒们必须实行耶稣所教的

3. “这人就多结果子”

a. 结果子是很重要的
b. 真正常在耶稣里的门徒便会多结果子
i. 首先，他的生命中会有成长
ii. 他侍奉职事也会得到成功
iii. 能在生命与侍奉中结果子显示信徒常在主里面

4. 不结果子的情况不可被轻视

a. 不结果子是一种迹象
b. 这很可能表示信徒不常在主里面

5. “因为离了我，你们就不能做什么”

a. 许多人愚蠢地不常在主里面
b. 他们常在自己：
i. 常困在自己的观点中
ii. 常困在自己的经验中
iii. 常跟照世俗的智慧
iv. 他们会悲痛地发觉没有基督，就不会有重要的成就

让我们决心常在主耶稣里面，以多结果子。
