Remaining in Jesus Is Essential to Bearing Fruit

Eight times Jesus uses the verb “to remain” in the today’s Gospel. Why such insistence in this issue? The only explanation is that remaining in Christ is the fundamental nucleus of His message.Remaining in Jesus is to welcome His world and His example, and to put it into practice. It is by remaining in Christ that the disciples will produce the fruits that are pleasing to the Father. And the sap of love that unites Jesus to the disciples creates ties among people, brings fraternity to them, to solidarity and communicates life.
