What does this mean?

In John 15, Jesus says something so powerful we might need to read it more than once.

His words are clear and inviting. His words carry with it the very heart of God for our connection/relationship with Him. His words are something to think about for a while.

Here’s your question to ponder: What does it mean to ABIDE in Jesus

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.”  (John 15:4-8 ESV)
