Jesus Cares About Our Response
Jesus cares about how we react and respond to his gracious invitation to live fully alive in him. Everything about our Christian faith is invitation. He is inviting us into a close and personal relationship with Him lived out His way. But like the people in Jesus’ parable of the wedding feast, we often come up with excuses for our responses for not going with Him and experiencing the life He has for us.
Jesus Cares About Our Fruitfulness
Jesus cares about how we live to bear fruit for Him and His kingdom. Jesus cares about it because it comes from our life and faith in him. As we remain in Him and He remains in us, we will bear much fruit, kingdom fruit, in our lives that will last for all eternity. In the parable Jesus tells in Matthew 21 about the owner of a vineyard describes this truth about fruitfulness and how important it is to Him and for us!
