Every Branch in me That Beareth Not Fruit, He Taketh It Away—John 15.2

(Pe orice mladita, care este in Mine si n-aduce rod, El o taie; Ioan 15.2)

Fruit.—This is the next great word we have: the Vine, the Husbandman, the branch, the fruit. What has our Lord to say to us of fruit? Simply this—that fruit is the one thing the branch is for, and that if it bear not fruit, the husbandman takes it away. The vine is the glory of the husbandman; the branch is the glory of the vine; the fruit is the glory of the branch; if the branch bring not forth fruit, there is no glory or worth in it; it is an offense and a hindrance; the husbandman takes it away. The one reason for the existence of a branch, the one mark of being a true branch of the heavenly Vine, the one condition of being allowed by the divine Husbandman to share the life the Vine is—bearing fruit.

And what is fruit? Something that the branch bears, not for itself, but for its owner; something that is to be gathered, and taken away. The branch does indeed receive it from the vine sap for its own life, by which it grows thicker and stronger. But this supply for its own maintenance is entirely subordinate to its fulfillment of the purpose of its existence—bearing fruit. It is because Christians do not understand or accept of this truth, that they so fail in their efforts and prayers to live the branch life. They often desire it very earnestly; they read and meditate and pray, and yet they fail, they wonder why? The reason is very simple: they do not know that fruit-bearing is the one thing they have been saved for. Just as entirely as Christ became the true Vine with the one object, you have been made a branch too, with the one object of bearing fruit for the salvation of men. The Vine and the branch are equally under the unchangeable law of fruit-bearing as the one reason of their being. Christ and the believer, the heavenly Vine and the branch, have equally their place in the world exclusively for one purpose, to carry God’s saving love to men. Hence the solemn word: Every branch that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away.

Let us specially beware of one great mistake. Many Christians think their own salvation is the first thing; their temporal life and prosperity, with the care of their family, the second; and what of time and interest is left may be devoted to fruit-bearing, to the saving of men. No wonder that in most cases very little time or interest can be found. No, Christian, the one object with which you have been made a member of Christ’s Body is that the Head may have you to carry out His saving work. The one object God had in making you a branch is that Christ may through you bring life to men. Your personal salvation, your business and care for your family, are entirely subordinate to this. Your first aim in life, your first aim every day, should be to know how Christ desires to carry out His purpose in you.

Let us begin to think as God thinks. Let us accept Christ’s teaching and respond to it. The one object of my being a branch, the one mark of my being a true branch, the one condition of my abiding and growing strong, is that I bear the fruit of the heavenly Vine for dying men to eat and live. And the one thing of which I can have the most perfect assurance is that, with Christ as my Vine, and the Father as my Husbandman, I can indeed be a fruitful branch.

Our Father, Thou comest seeking fruit. Teach us, we pray Thee, to realize how truly this is the one object of our existence, and of our union to Christ. Make it the one desire of our hearts to be branches, so filled with the Spirit of the Vine, as to bring forth fruit abundantly.

scrisoare de la Dumnezeu

O rugaciune sincera …

Intr-o zi … un om slab se hotaraseste sa se roage sincer Dumnezeului atotputernic .. care isi doreste sa lucreze totul in toti..

Inainte omul slab se credea puternic, plin de bunatate si dragoste … se credea curajos, indraznet .. se uita in jur .. si se credea mai bun .. dar valul a cazut dupa ochi .. si acum, cu durere, omul se uita cu adevarat la sine insusi .. fara ochelarii lumesti ..

omul slab se uita la propriile incercari de a fi mai bun .. se uita la inima lui si cauta iubirea pentru cei saraci, pentru cei pierduti .. pentru cei mai slabi decat el .. dar nu gaseste decat franturi disipate …

omul slab se uita la atitudinea lui .. si in locul milei, dragostei, credintei .. rabdarii .. pe care spera sa le gaseasca … vede egoism, mandrie…

Frant, obosit de incercari inutile … cade in fata Domnului Isus si se roaga ..

“Scumpul meu Isus ,

imi doresc asa de mult sa Te urmez orice ar fi… dar nu pot .. ajuta-ma Tu..

imi doresc asa de mult sa fiu o mladita sanatoasa, plina de rod, linistita..

imi doresc sa iubesc mult, imi doresc sa iubesc asa cum Tu vrei, TOTAL,… dar nu pot .. ajuta-ma Tu ..

imi doresc sa am mila, sa am devotament,putere de sacrificiu… dar nu pot ..

imi doresc sa ma doara ce Te doare pe Tine, sa reactionez, sa ma port si sa vorbesc cum Tu vrei … dar nu pot .. ajuta-ma!

imi doresc ca-n pieptul meu sa arda dorintele Tale, imi doresc ca in inima mea sa fii doar Tu .. dar nu esti .. AJUTA-MA TU!

imi doresc sa ma rog numai ce vrei Tu, imi doresc sa am in inima un colt de rai care sa-mi dea speranta mereu ..

imi doresc sa fiu atatea lucruri care nu sunt, imi doresc sa fac atatea lucruri pe care nu le fac …

eu .. imi doresc .. mai mult nu pot .. ajuta-ma Tu Isus!”

si asa omul slab s-a eliberat de greutatea propriilor poveri .. poveri care le lua singur asupra lui ..pe care le purta pretutindeni cu el ..paveri care il cocosau, ii furau bucuria .. dar acum a dat poverile Domnului .. a recunoscut ca nu se poate schimba singur .. ca tot ceea ce este bun in om vine numai de la El, de la Dumnezeul sau!

acum omul slab e liber .. e linistit .. si se increde in Isus! .. caci El i-a promis ca va lucra la inima lui .. i-a promis ca va schimba neputinta in indrazneala, sfiala in credinta, egoismul in dragoste .. omul trebuie doar sa stea linistit, sa se increada in Isus .. si sa se bucure !

Fiti binecuvantati !

The branch

Every Branch in me that Beareth Not Fruit, He taketh It away—John 15.2

(Pe orice mladita, care este in Mine si n-aduce rod, El o taie; Ioan 15.2)

Here we have one of the chief words of the parable—branch. A vine needs branches: without branches it can do nothing, can bear no fruit. As important as it is to know about the Vine, and the Husbandman, it is to realize what the branch is. Before we listen to what Christ has to say about it, let us first of all take in what a branch is, and what it teaches us of our life in Christ. A branch is simply a bit of wood, brought forth by the vine for the one purpose of serving it in bearing its fruit. It is of the very same nature as the vine, and has one life and one spirit with it. Just think a moment of the lessons this suggests.

There is the lesson of entire consecration. The branch has but one object for which it exists, one purpose to which it is entirely given up. That is, to bear the fruit the vine wishes to bring forth. And so the believer has but one reason for his being a branch—but one reason for his existence on earth —that the heavenly Vine may through him bring forth His fruit. Happy the soul that knows this, that has consented to it, and that says, I have been redeemed and I live for one thing—as exclusively as the natural branch exists only to bring forth fruit, I too; as exclusively as the heavenly Vine exists to bring forth fruit, I too. As I have been planted by God into Christ, I have wholly given myself to bear the fruit the Vine desires to bring forth.

There is the lesson of perfect conformity. The branch is exactly like the vine in every aspect—the same nature, the same life, the same place, the same work. In all this they are inseparably one. And so the believer needs to know that he is partaker of the divine nature, and has the very nature and spirit of Christ in him, and that his one calling is to yield himself to a perfect conformity to Christ. The branch is a perfect likeness of the vine; the only difference is, the one is great and strong, and the source of strength, the other little and feeble, ever needing and receiving strength. Even so the believer is, and is to be, the perfect likeness of Christ.

There is the lesson of absolute dependence. The vine has its stores of life and sap and strength, not for itself, but for the branches. The branches are and have nothing but what the vine provides and imparts. The believer is called to, and it is his highest blessedness to enter upon, a life of entire and unceasing dependence upon Christ. Day and night, every moment, Christ is to work in him all he needs.

And then the lesson of undoubting confidence. The branch has no cure; the vine provides all; it has but to yield itself and receive. It is the sight of this truth that leads to the blessed rest of faith, the true secret of growth and strength: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

What a life would come to us if we only consented to be branches! Dear child of God, learn the lesson. You have but one thing to do: Only be a branch—nothing more, nothing less! Just be a branch; Christ will be the Vine that gives all. And the Husbandman, the mighty God, who made the Vine what it is, will as surely make the branch what it ought to be.

Lord Jesus, I pray Thee, reveal to me the heavenly mystery of the branch, in its living union with the Vine, in its claim on all its fullness. And let Thy all-sufficiency, holding and filling Thy branches, lead me to the rest of faith that knows that Thou workest all.

And My Father is the Husbandman—John 15.1

And My Father is the Husbandman—John 15.1

( si Tatal Meu este vierul. - Ioan 15.1)

A vine must have a husbandman to plant and watch over it, to receive and rejoice in its fruit. Jesus says: “My Father is the husbandman.” He was “the vine of God’s planting.” All He was and did, He owed to the Father; in all He only sought the Father’s will and glory. He had become man to show us what a creature ought to be to its Creator. He took our place, and the spirit of His life before the Father was ever what He seeks to make ours: “Of him, and through him, and to him are all things.” He became the true Vine, that we might be true branches. Both in regard to Christ and ourselves the words teach us the two lessons of absolute dependence and perfect confidence.

My Father is the Husbandman.—Christ ever lived in the spirit of what He once said: “The Son can do nothing of himself.” As dependent as a vine is on a husbandman for the place where it is to grow, for its fencing in and watering and pruning. Christ felt Himself entirely dependent on the Father every day for the wisdom and the strength to do the Father’s will. As He said in the previous chapter (14:10): “The words that I say unto you, I speak not from Myself; but the Father abiding in Me doeth his works.” This absolute dependence had as its blessed counterpart the most blessed confidence that He had nothing to fear: the Father could not disappoint Him. With such a Husbandman as His Father, He could enter death and the grave. He could trust God to raise Him up. All that Christ is and has, He has, not in Himself, but from the Father.

My Father is the Husbandman.—That is as blessedly true for us as for Christ. Christ is about to teach His disciples about their being branches. Before He ever uses the word, or speaks at all of abiding in Him or bearing fruit, He turns their eyes heavenward to the Father watching over them, and working all in them. At the very root of all Christian life lies the thought that God is to do all, that our work is to give and leave ourselves in His hands, in the confession of utter helplessness and dependence, in the assured confidence that He gives all we need. The great lack of the Christian life is that, even where we trust Christ, we leave God out of the count. Christ came to bring us to God. Christ lived the life of a man exactly as we have to live it. Christ the Vine points to God the Husbandman. As He trusted God, let us trust God, that everything we ought to be and have, as those who belong to the Vine, will be given us from above.

Isaiah said: “A vineyard of red wine; I the Lord do keep it, I will water it every moment; lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.” Ere we begin to think of fruit or branches, let us have our heart filled with the faith: as glorious as the Vine, is the Husbandman. As high and holy as is our calling, so mighty and loving is the God who will work it all. As surely as the Husbandman made the Vine what it was to be, will He make each branch what it is to be. Our Father is our Husbandman, the Surety for our growth and fruit.

Blessed Father, we are Thy husbandry. Oh, that Thou mayest have honor of the work of Thy hands! O my Father, I desire to open my heart to the joy of this wondrous truth: My Father is the Husbandman. Teach me to know and trust Thee, and to see that the same deep interest with which Thou caredst for and delightedst in the Vine, extends to every branch, to me too.

I am the True Vine—John 15.1

I am the True Vine—John 15.1

(Eu sunt adevarata vita - Ioan 15.1)

All earthly things are the shadows of heavenly realities—the expression, in created, visible forms, of the invisible glory of God. The Life and the Truth are in Heaven; on earth we have figures and shadows of the heavenly truths. When Jesus says: “I am the true Vine,” He tells us that all the vines of earth are pictures and emblems of Himself. He is the divine reality, of which they are the created expression. They all point to Him, and preach Him, and reveal Him. If you would know Jesus, study the vine.

How many eyes have gazed on and admired a great vine with its beautiful fruit. Come and gaze on the heavenly Vine till your eye turns from all else to admire Him. How many, in a sunny clime, sit and rest under the shadow of a vine. Come and be still under the shadow of the true Vine, and rest under it from the heat of the day. What countless numbers rejoice in the fruit of the vine! Come, and take, and eat of the heavenly fruit of the true Vine, and let your soul say: “I sat under His shadow with great delight, and His fruit was sweet to my taste.”

I am the true Vine.—This is a heavenly mystery. The earthly vine can teach you much about this Vine of Heaven. Many interesting and beautiful points of comparison suggest themselves, and help us to get conceptions of what Christ meant. But such thoughts do not teach us to know what the heavenly Vine really is, in its cooling shade, and its life-giving fruit. The experience of this is part of the hidden mystery, which none but Jesus Himself, by His Holy Spirit, can unfold and impart.

I am the true Vine.—The vine is the living Lord, who Himself speaks, and gives, and works all that He has for us. If you would know the meaning and power of that word, do not think to find it by thought or study; these may help to show you what you must get from Him to awaken desire and hope and prayer, but they cannot show you the Vine. Jesus alone can reveal Himself. He gives His Holy Spirit to open the eyes to gaze upon Himself, to open the heart to receive Himself. He must Himself speak the word to you and me.

I am the true Vine.—And what am I to do, if I want the mystery, in all its heavenly beauty and blessing, opened up to me? With what you already know of the parable, bow down and be still, worship and wait, until the divine Word enters your heart, and you feel His holy presence with you, and in you. The overshadowing of His holy love will give you the perfect calm and rest of knowing that the Vine will do all.

I am the true Vine.—He who speaks is God, in His infinite power able to enter into us. He is man, one with us. He is the crucified One, who won a perfect righteousness and a divine life for us through His death. He is the glorified One, who from the throne gives His Spirit to make His presence real and true. He speaks—oh, listen, not to His words only, but to Himself, as He whispers secretly day by day: “I am the true Vine! All that the Vine can ever be to its branch, “I will be to you.”

Holy Lord Jesus, the heavenly Vine of God’s own planting, I beseech Thee, reveal Thyself to my soul. Let the Holy Spirit, not only in thought, but in experience, give me to know all that Thou, the Son of God, art to me as the true Vine.

Ioan 15

Iisus spune:

1 Eu sunt adevarata vita, si Tatal Meu este vierul.

2 Pe orice mladita, care este in Mine si n-aduce rod, El o taie; si pe orice mladita care aduce rod, o curata, ca sa aduca si mai multa rod.

3 Acum voi sunteti curati, din pricina cuvantului, pe care vi l-am spus.

4 Ramaneti in Mine, si Eu voi ramane in voi. Dupa cum mladita nu poate aduce rod de la sine, daca nu ramane in vita, tot asa nici voi nu puteti aduceti rod, daca nu ramaneti in Mine.

5 Eu sunt Vita, voi sunteti mladitele. Cine ramane in Mine, si in cine raman Eu, aduce mult rod; caci despartiti de Mine, nu puteti face nimic.

6 Daca nu ramane cineva in Mine, este aruncat afara, ca mladita neroditoare, si se usuca; apoi mladitele uscate sunt stranse, aruncate in foc, si ard.

7 Daca ramaneti in Mine, si daca raman in voi cuvintele Mele, cereti orice veti vrea, si vi se va da.

8 Daca aduceti mult rod, prin aceasta Tatal Meu va fi proslavit; si voi veti fi astfel ucenicii Mei.

9 Cum M-a iubit pe Mine Tatal, asa v-am iubit si Eu pe voi. Ramaneti in dragostea Mea.

10 Daca paziti poruncile Mele, veti ramane in dragostea Mea, dupa cum si Eu am pazit poruncile Tatalui Meu, si raman in dragostea Lui.

11 V-am spus aceste lucruri, pentru ca bucuria Mea sa ramana in voi, si bucuria voastra sa fie deplina.

Aceasta este

“…prea obosita sa vad cat de frumos este cerul astazi .. prea ingandurata sa ma bucur de aceasta noua zi … prea descurajata sa-L caut pe Domnul acum…”

astea sunt ganduri pe care azi nu le mai vreau !! le refuz !! .. gata !

Astazi ma voi bucura de ziua pe care a facut-o Domnul ! Ma voi bucura de tot ceea ce mi-a daruit si ma voi ruga plina de nadejde pentru lucrurile promise! Am un Tata minunat si vreau sa ma desfat in bucuria Lui !

Psalmi 19:1 Cerurile spun slava lui Dumnezeu, si intinderea lor vesteste lucrarea mainilor Lui.

Psalmi 118:24 Aceasta este ziua, pe care a facut-o Domnul: sa ne bucuram si sa ne inveselim in ea!

Psalmi 68:19 Binecuvantat sa fie Domnul,care zilnic ne poarta povara, Dumnezeu, mantuirea noastra!!

What we are is God’s gift to us … what we become is our gift to God …
