"விதைகளின் உள்ளே" 🌳
கிறிஸ்துவை அறியாத சாதாரண மக்களும் பலர் நல்ல வாழ்க்கை வாழ்கின்றனர். அவர்களிலும் சில கனிகள் காணப்படுகின்றன. ஆனால் கிறிஸ்துவை அறிந்த நாம் இன்றைய தியான வசனம் கூறுவதுபோல உயர்குல திராட்சைச் செடிகள். எனவே சாதாரண செடியைப்போல அல்லாமல் நாம் மிகுந்த கனிகளைக் கொடுக்கவேண்டியது அவசியம். எனவேதான், "நானே திராட்சச்செடி, நீங்கள் கொடிகள். ஒருவன் என்னிலும் நான் அவனிலும் நிலைத்திருந்தால், அவன் மிகுந்த கனிகளைக் கொடுப்பான்; என்னையல்லாமல் உங்களால் ஒன்றும் செய்யக்கூடாது." (யோவான் 15:5) என்றார் இயேசு கிறிஸ்து.

“Yet I planted you a choice
vine, a completely faithful seed. How then have you turned yourself before Me Into the degenerate shoots of a
foreign vine?” — Jeremiah 2:21
With a desire to receive
good fruit, we sometimes buy and plant high-breed saplings in our homes.
But on certain occasions, those plants turn out not to be truly superior
varieties. They fail to produce the fruit we expected, and we feel
disappointed. Likewise, even with flowering plants, we are sometimes deceived
into buying wild, fragrance-less plants instead of genuine ones.
In a similar way, our God
expresses His grief over Israel, whom He trusted, saying sorrowfully: “How then
have you turned yourself before Me into the degenerate shoots of a foreign
vine?”
Yes, beloved, in today’s New
Testament era, we ourselves are the spiritual Israel. God has called us
to live as people pleasing to Him. He has placed His complete trust in us. Yet,
many times we do not live according to His expectations; we do not live
fruit-bearing lives. The reason is simple—we do not remain fully abiding in
Him.
If we are to become vines
that bear good fruit, it is essential that we live a life united with Christ.
That is why our Lord Jesus Christ said:
“Abide in Me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so
neither can you unless you abide in Me.” — John 15:4
Even many ordinary people
who do not know Christ live morally good lives, and some fruits can be seen in
them. But we who know Christ are, according to today’s meditation verse, choice
vines. Therefore, unlike ordinary plants, it is essential that we bear much
fruit. That is why Jesus Christ declared:
“I am the vine, you are the
branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from
Me you can do nothing.” — John 15:5
Moreover, by bearing much
fruit, we glorify God the Father who has chosen us, and we become true
disciples of Christ:
“My Father is glorified by
this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.” — John
15:8
Yes, God has planted us as a
choice vine, one meant to bear abundant good fruit. Therefore, let us
strive not to become like useless wild vines, but rather like noble vines that
produce good fruit. Since we cannot do this by our own strength, God has given
us the Holy Spirit as our Helper. Let us seek the help of the Holy Spirit daily
in our lives, so that we may live truly fruit-bearing lives.
