John 15:5 | Apart from Me, Nothing

Jesus does not say apart from me you can do less. He says nothing. That is a total claim. And it is either true or it is not.

If it is true, then every moment of ministry not rooted in abiding was producing something other than kingdom fruit. It may have looked productive. It may have been praised. But if it was not flowing from the vine, Jesus calls it nothing.

The flip side is also in this verse. He who remains in me bears much fruit. Much. Not from grinding. From remaining.
