[16] You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. (ESV)
SUMMARY
We sit with Jesus’ words from John 15:16 and let them challenge the way we talk about choosing Christ. We trace the cycle of Jesus choosing, appointing, and opening the way for prayer so our lives bear lasting fruit and our hearts can rest.
• reading John 15:16 and slowing down over Jesus’ claim • affirming the real human call to receive Christ by faith • seeing the behind-the-scenes work of Jesus choosing His people • understanding appointment as a purpose to bear lasting fruit • connecting fruitfulness to praying to the Father in Jesus’ name • ending with a prayer for the Spirit’s help to abide and rest Ponder that as you prepare your mind for rest.
