DISCIPLESHIP

OUR KINGDOM LIFE

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—  whatever they do prospers.

Psalm 1:3   

We have found that the imagery of a tree helps us to think about discipleship and life in the Kingdom. Below the surface is the root system, it nourishes and anchors the tree. This represents our relationship with Jesus. If we want to know Jesus and become more like Him then we need to remain vitally connected to Him, the source of life.

In John 15:5 Jesus says: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.


As we abide in Him we will grow and mature, both individually and as a community of believers. Like the trunk of a tree, as we grow in knowledge and walk in obedience to the way of Jesus, we will be spiritually formed more and more into His likeness. We will then be increasingly equipped to discern His will for our lives and stand firm as change, opposition, tragedy and uncertainty come.

A healthy root system and strong trunk enable a tree to support a canopy and bear fruit. The parallel here is that as we abide and grow in Christ, He will enable us to live our mission which is:


Helping People Find and Follow Jesus.
