Abide with Jesus 

Take 15 in John 15

We may have to wait to fully commune with friends and family but we never have to wait on Jesus’ presence.  Jesus taught us to abide in his love so that “my joy may be in you, and your joy may be full” (John 15:11). 

To help us do this, we’re inviting you to make John 15:1-17 your meditation for the next 40 days. This is where Jesus teaches us about what what it means to “abide”. 

Take 15 minutes every morning and linger in this passage. Perhaps you could commit the passage to memory.  15 minutes to abide with Christ: to pray, to seek him, to ask him how to love those around you—and his promise is joy … plentiful joy.
