Cleaning and Cleaned

Love for One Another Godly Love Among Believers Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)    Abiding Love John 15:1-3 New International Version The Vine and the Branches 15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. For Reflection Maybe Jesus and his group were passing a vineyard. Jesus, looking upon the workers attending to the early needs of a productive harvest by moonlight, saw a metaphor of the relationship between the Father, Himself, and the stewardship of his followers. Perhaps it was the vine tendrils painted on the walls where they had eaten supper or carved on the door. However it moved Jesus to speak; he described the love of the father for the faithful. He described how God nurtures the maturation of faith. It was and is a beautiful description of the living union between Christ and those who believe in him. Pray Pray so that you experience the oneness of God, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and YOU! Forward to a friend
