 This is a profound connection between Christ and his people. In John 15, 4, the Bible says there, Jesus said, 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. That word abide in the Greek is the word mino. And it means to stay at, to continue, to dwell, to endure, to make a residence with, to be present. Listen to this.
