As for myself, I am the vine. As for you, you are the branches. He who maintains a living communion with me and I with him, this one is bearing much fruit, because apart from me you are not able to be doing anything.
John 15:5 - Wuest's Expanded Translation.
Why do people suffer from mid-life crisis? Mostly, because they wake up one day wondering what on earth they have done with their lives. We don't have to come to this. Jesus taught us how our lives can have meaning even beyond the confines of time and the world of time. Jesus declared that if we would maintain a living, two-way communion with Him we would bear much eternal fruit.
Aren't you eager to have a life with real significance to it? The moment you make maintaining a vibrant relationship with Jesus a priority, you'll begin bearing an abundance of fruit in your life that has an eternal dimension to it! You will be like the prophets, who maintained a living communion with Almighty God, whose words and works continue to shape our world today.
