The Fruit of Discipleship

John 15: 8 - This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

Our relationship with Jesus bears fruit that reveals the Father’s glory. Through living as his disciple, a lost and seeking world can see God’s magnificence and find comfort and salvation.

A disciple of Jesus is someone who became a learner or apprentice of Christ, the teacher. Jesus shows us how to live for God’s glory by imitating Christ and submitting to his teaching.
The fruit of our relationship with Christ is Christ like living and the fruit of Christ like living is that we reveal God’s glory. The fruit of revealing the glory of God is that the light of God again shines in a dark world and the lost can find their way back to the Father.

May we bear much fruit as we show ourselves to be the disciples of Jesus this week.
