[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Hold On by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

Jesus said, “A branch cannot bear fruit if it’s severed from the vine, and
you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me” (John 15:4). The dominant
duty of the branch is to cling to the vine. The dominant duty of the
disciple is the same.

We Christians tend to miss this. We banter about pledges to “make a
difference for Christ.” Yet our goal is not to bear fruit. Our goal is to
stay attached. When a father leads his four-year-old son down a crowded
street, he takes him by the hand and gives him one responsibility: “Hold on
to my hand.”

God does the same with us. Your goal is not to know every detail of the
future. Your goal is to hold the hand of the one who does and never, ever
let him go.
