Not Good If Detached


Many years ago people traveled by train.  When they boarded the train a conductor would come through the cars t0 collect their ticket.  The train ticket was perforated in the middle. The whole ticket had to be presented of the conductor, who then separated it. In bold letters on each ticket were the words: “NOT GOOD IF DETACHED.”

John’s Gospel speaks of the reality of abiding in Christ. John 15:4 A branch must be connected to the vine for the sap to flow uninterrupted and for the fruit to appear. If it is cut off, it withers, and dies. It cannot bear fruit on its own.

It is only as we daily connect with Christ that the Holy Spirit can flow through us, producing the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 We become more Christ like by spending time with Him.

ARE YOU “ATTACHED”?
