\n\t\tThe Thirst for a Fruitful Christian Life \n\t<\/h1>\n\t

\u00abIf you bear much fruit, this is how my Father will be glorified, and this is how you will be my disciples.\u00bb (John 15:8)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thirst is a desire, a craving, a need to drink. God\u2019s desire is for us to bear fruit\u2014and to bear it in abundance. We must first invest ourselves spiritually, and the rest will follow.<\/p>\n

Spiritual hard work<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus was already attending to his Father\u2019s business at the age of 12. Don\u2019t wait until you\u2019re old to attend to God\u2019s business; you need to get involved now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Read John 4:5\u20136, 31\u201334. In this passage, you see Jesus sitting by a well, exhausted. His disciples had gone into town to buy food. A Samaritan woman comes to the well to draw water. Jesus immediately forgets his weariness and strikes up a conversation with her in order to win her over. In the middle of their conversation, the disciples return and urge Jesus to eat. Jesus\u2019 response is firm: \u00abMy food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to complete his work\u00bb (John 4:34). J<\/strong>Jesus did His Father\u2019s work despite His fatigue. Today, people make many excuses for not committing themselves to God\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
