Fruit that Remains | Pastor Peter Molnar

In our exploration of spiritual fruit, we delve into John 15:16, where Jesus speaks of bearing fruit that remains. This powerful message challenges us to consider the balance between the gifts and the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. Are we merely focusing on spiritual gifts, or are we cultivating the lasting fruit of love, joy, peace, and patience? The imagery of the priest's robe, adorned with bells and pomegranates, beautifully illustrates this balance. The bells represent the attention-grabbing gifts, while the pomegranates symbolize the nourishing fruit. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to examine our own lives. Are we attracting others through both the power of God's gifts and the sweetness of His fruit in us? This message invites us to abide in Christ, recognizing that true, lasting impact comes from a life fully connected to the vine.
