Jesus and the Disciples

Jesus wants more than an hour of your weekend or a quick devotional time in the morning. He wants all of you, every moment of every day. He desires constant communion with you. Jesus calls this abiding. To abide means to rest and remain in God's goodness, gospel, and grace. When you abide in Christ, he prunes your heart so that more fruit can be grown in and through you. He wants all of you and for all of you to become all you were meant to be.
