In this recent post I hinted at an idea the Lord gave me while preparing for the introduction to our study Abiding in Christ, by Andrew Murray and Bo Stevens.
The idea bubbled to the surface as I imagined the disciples walking past a nearby vineyard following their last supper with Christ. The bread and the wine still lingering on their lips would become even more meaningful as Jesus taught on the Vine and the branches—a union that complements the Lord’s Supper beautifully.
As I closed out our introduction night, the juice and crackers were passed. We had a time of self-examination while David Teems (More Hope CD) played in the background. Afterwards, an amazing group of women from various backgrounds, denominations and churches came together as one to celebrate the One who makes an abiding relationship with a holy God possible.
To God be the glory!
Cathy,
Thank you for sharing this with us. This week specific I've been researching through the NT the concept of "abiding" and this is so encouraging to hear.
God bless you, Hester 😉
Thank you, Hester. This study has been particularly powerful in my life, which I hope to share in a post next week. It's a beautiful journey, isn't it? Blessings to you!
What a great way to fit together as the Body!
Thank you, Vonda! 🙂
Praying for your study, Cathy. I'm a HUGE fan of Andrew Murray, and that devo is one of my all-time favorites. I can only imagine how wonderful the study is!
Thank you for your prayers, Susan. They're priceless! (Welcome back 🙂
