Day 1 Devotional
Introduction
In John 15:1-17 Christ explained to His disciples that their relationship with Him must be defined by their remaining in Him.
This expression, remaining in Him, or abiding in Him, has been frequently misunderstood by Bible readers, as though it were a special, mystical, and indefinable experience. But in this passage, Christ helps us to understand that remaining in Him is not such a mystical and indefinable experience after all.
This passage is part of the teaching that Christ presented to His disciples during their last supper together in an Upper Room in Jerusalem just before they headed out into the night to go to the Garden of Gethsemane where He would be arrested, tried, and crucified the following day.
In this passage, first, Christ helps us to understand what it means to remain in Him. Second, Christ helps us to understand the methods that strengthen our remaining in Him. Third, Christ describes three ways in which our lives are marked by our remaining in Him.
So, over the course of this 5-Day Plan, from John 15:1-17, we’ll explore how these 3M’s can help us to remain in Christ, so that we can be fruitful in all that He has called us to be, and to do, in our Christian lives.
