Fruit what is Jesus talking about? John 15:16 (MEV) You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that the Father may give you whatever you ask Him in My name. We seem to get part b of this verse and forget part a…

Let us back up to John 15:1-4 (MEV) 1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine dresser. 2 Every branch in Me that bears no fruit, He takes away. And every branch that bears fruit, He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean through the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in Me, as I also remain in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, neither can you, unless you remain in Me.
I do believe that He is VERY serious here. There is no words minced here Jesus is talking and he says very plainly. Some words hit me as I read this TRUE VINE, VINE DRESSER, EVERY BRANCH, BEARS NO FRUIT, He takes away BEARS FRUIT He prunes (To remove what is superfluous or undesirable.) that it may bear more fruit.
Thinking of Matthew 28:18-20 (MEV) 18 Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Verse 2 plainly says “Every branch in Me that bears no fruit, He takes away.” I did not say that, nor did John, it comes from the mouth of Jesus.” I can hear it already—I can not talk to people about Jesus. Yes you can your walk talks louder than your speech. Are you living right? Our maybe teach a class or work with the children and let them see Jesus in you. We all can do something.
If you are BORN AGAIN you are a walking, talking, person that is a SOUL WINNER. Your walk should be that of a Christian and everyone that comes in contact with you, if you are walking the walk, will see the difference in you.
So let us become what our Father desires and what Jesus died for. Let us be Christian, Christ like, We even have an example of a Christian all through the Bible is it time yet. We are surrounded by lost souls. They are everywhere in our families, at our work place, places we shop in, even driving down the street. Yes they are everywhere.
I now pray that we all become all we can be and be an example of the love of Jesus in all we say and do. Thank you for reading and may God bless and be with you and watch over you. And let us understand, it is time for us to BLESS GOD…
John 15:20 (MEV) 20 Remember the word that I said to you: “A servant is not greater than his master.” If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My words, they will keep yours also.
