Wait for the God of Salvation
1 Woe is me! For I have becomeeas when the summer fruit has been gathered,
as when the grapes have been gleaned:
there is no cluster to eat,
no ffirst-ripe fig that my soul desires.
Luke 12:48
48 gBut the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, hwill receive a light beating. iEveryone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.John 15:1-8
I Am the True Vine
1“I am the jtrue vine, and my Father is kthe vinedresser. 2 lEvery branch in me that does not bear fruit mhe takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, nthat it may bear more fruit. 3Already oyou are clean pbecause of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 qAbide rin me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5I am the vine; syou are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that tbears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not abide in me uhe is thrown away like a branch and withers; vand the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7If wyou abide in me, and my words abide in you, xask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 yBy this my Father is glorified, that you zbear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
