What does it mean to abide in Christ? I'm Richard Pratt, President of Third Mill. Jesus said, I am the vine, and you are the branches, whoever abides in me bears much fruit. We all know that in many cases a branch won't even remain alive if it's broken off from its vine. But for the Jews in Jesus' day, these words reminded them of prophecies about the Messiah who was going to come. He would be like a vine, and they, his people, would draw their life from him in the kingdom of God to come. As God's people today, we know who the Messiah is, and we want to have life, we must abide in him and draw our life from him day by day. As Jesus said, apart from me, you can do nothing. At Third Mill, we're not just teaching the Bible. We're abiding in the one who gives us life. Now go and advance God's kingdom. Biblical education for the world for free.
