I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing…..If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. John 15:5, 7
God want to be as close to us as a branch is to a vine. One is an extension of the other. It’s impossible to tell where one starts and other ends. The branch isn’t connected only at the moment of bearing fruit. The gardener doesn’t keep the branches in a box and then, on the day he wants grapes, glue them to the vine. No, the branch constantly draws nutrition from the vine. Separation means certain death.
