Time with Jesus ripens the fruit!!!

[Lynn D. Walker]

In John 16:7, Jesus told his disciples that it was for their advantage for him to go away.  Jesus left that earthly relationship in order to lead them, and now us, to an even closer spiritual relationship.  That's what Jesus desires of all of us; that we would take the "time" to walk more intimately with Him.  This is what "bearing fruit" is really all about and it is a visible result when you get closer to Jesus and it brings much Joy to Him, to you, and to all those around you.  Fruit needs to be ripe and in it's fullest condition during harvest time.  That time is drawing nearer and nearer; are you ripe and ready?? (see John 15:1-4)  ~Pastor Lynn
