We Don't Know

"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5

We don't know what life is, until we live it IN Christ.

We don't know what true joy is, until we live IN the joy of Christ.

We don't know the quality of our fruit, until Christ IS the producer of our fruit.

We don't know the meaning of forgiveness, until we have witnessed the Cross.

We don't know the power of the Word, until we have been transformed by the Word.

We don't know His suffering, until we have shared in His suffering.

We don't know what love is, until we see it through His blood.

We don't know who we are, until we know whose we are.

We don't know our purpose, until we know the reason for our existence.

We don't know how to give, until we know what Christ has given us.

We don't know how to die, until we have died to ourselves.

We don't know the power of the cross, until we carry our own cross.

To be filled with Christ, is to be empty of self.


Jesus apart from You we know nothing, can do nothing, and have nothing. May we remain in You. Amen
