12.2 Apart from the Lord, we can do nothing. Treasures for the Soul
-
- Christianity
Brothers and sisters, today’s topic of Treasures for the Soul is “Apart from the Lord, we can do nothing.”
It’s very important to behold the Lord and realize that He is in glory, He is everywhere, and He is in our hearts at the same time. This was what Stephen did. The key in experiencing the Lord lies in John 15:5—the parable of the vine and the branches – the union with the Lord. We can enjoy the Lord’s continuous nourishment and support, and we can also bear fruit. We need to recall the right condition in which we can deeply experience the Lord without any hinderances. When we always place ourselves in the right condition of experiencing the Lord, we will continue to improve. Indeed, we cannot be apart from the Lord even for a moment; otherwise, we will fall. Christ in us is more powerful than anything in the world!
