Nothing!

John 15: 5
“...for without me you can do nothing...”

I don’t often get into nursing homes, but they seem to be a painful place to exist.
Even putting a fork or spoon to your mouth, can be somewhat trying and taxing.
Those nursing home residents are totally reliant upon someone else.

People who live a life mostly without Jesus, are paralyzed, but some don’t even realize it.
Did you know this morning that our next breath, isn’t at all reliant upon us?

The follower of Jesus that grows and produces fruit, can only do so as they abide.
And yet so many believe that they can accomplish much, without having to be close to Jesus.

Only a person who solely lives in Christ, are the ones who see a return on their investment.
Only as we live in Christ through the power of the Holy Ghost, are we profitable people.

How is your spiritual profitability these days?
Have you considered your own neediness and paralysis, or are you reliant on self?

People who refuse to abide in Jesus, will one day spend their eternal existence in wretchedness.
What are you personally choosing these days, that it no way compares to Jesus?
Sunday’s are filled with a plethora of choices. Did you choose Jesus yesterday, or did you choose something...“better”?

The measure God uses to identify a true believer in His Son, is righteousness.

How would you say your righteousness measures up today?
