Day 25:
John 15:1-8
Devotion:
In this passage Jesus shares the parable of the vine and the branches. He brings emphasis to how important it is that we abide in Him. If we stay rooted in him we will grow in our understanding of him and produce much fruit. We cannot do anything without the help of our Lord. As you dive into this passage of scripture today, ask him to help you understand. Ask God to reveal new things to you this week.
