MUCH FRUIT

“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit.” - John 15: 8

What a possibility, what an inspiration, that we can enhance the glory of the Father! Our hearts leap at the thought. How can this be done? By bearing “leaves” - profession of love for Him? No. By bearing some fruit? No. “That ye bear much fruit”. In the abundance of the yield is the joy, the glory of the husbandman. We should, therefore, aim to be “hundred-fold” Christians, satisfied with none but the largest yield. How is it to be brought about? There is only one way, only one - abiding in Christ.

GOD GLORIFIED

‘God does what He does because He is what He is; and in doing what He does He displays what He is; and in displaying what He is He glorifies Himself.’
