Greetings Dear Reader,
"I am the vine. You are the branches. Those who live in
me while I live in them will produce a lot of fruit. But you can't produce
anything without me.”
The great truth here is that we are an extension of Christ
in the world. It is mutual. We are in Christ and he is in us growing our effectiveness. As we follow and draw closer we become more a
reflection of what he offers the world.
It is the connected nature of the life in Christ that
matters. It is about unity and growth
and infinite diversity all living in harmony.
It is harmonization of effort to bring the world back to good.
An aspect of this that drives me is that the branch cannot
survive disconnected from the vine. From
the vine it draws its sustenance to produce fruit. From the vine it finds the strength to grow,
flower, and produce. It is our duty to
grow and reproduce. It is my obligation
to be an extension of Christ making life.
We are bound to Christ and that is where we should be. It is in him that we find life and the power
to extend it through him.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
