Verse from John

“我是葡萄树，你们是枝子。住在我里面的，我也住在他里面，他就结出很多果子；因为离开了我，你们就不能作甚么。”

‭‭约翰福音‬ ‭15:5‬ ‭

“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.”

‭‭John‬ ‭15:5‬ ‭

Our life in Jesus is much more like a duet than a solo performance. Sometimes, though, we forget that He’s “sitting next to us” and it’s only by His power and guidance that we can “play” at all. We try to hit all the right notes on our own—to obey God in our own strength, but this usually ends up seeming fake and hollow. We try to handle problems with our limited ability, but the result is often discord with others.

Our Teacher’s presence makes all the difference. When we rely on Jesus to help us, we find our life is more honoring to God.

Each day we play a duet with our good Teacher—it’s His grace and power that carry the melody of our spiritual lives.
