Well, Jesus gives us some very important advice on the last night of his life. One main word that in my mind really stands out. That word is abide. We read it in John 15 verse 4 where Jesus says, abide in me and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. And then just a few verses later it says, if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you. By this my father is glorified that you bear much fruit, so you will be my disciples. So the gospel of the kingdom is a really great idea.
