The source of everything
Олексій • 1 year назад
Look around…
Everything is masterfully created: the sky, trees, mountains, oceans. Animals, people, visible and invisible.
You can breathe because you have been given lungs, oxygen and an environment that supports life. You can move because you have muscles, tendons, and brains that train your body. You can think, dream, plan, design, create, build — because you are given the desire, the ability, and certain raw materials.
So, if you want to live a life of meaning that leaves an eternal legacy, you must stay connected to the source of life. Jesus said this using an illustration familiar to His listeners:
“So abide in Me, and I will abide in you. A branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it is a vine. Neither can you, unless you are in Me. I am the vine and you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, produces a rich harvest. And without Me you will not be able to do anything.”
John 15:4-5
When Jesus says, “I am the vine,” He is making a statement. He says that He is the source, that all that is created is because of His life-giving power.
So, if you seek real truth, genuine wisdom, or something to change this world for a long time, keep close to God, because everything worth being or doing begins with Him.
