Jean-François Millet • Abiding in Christ day by day

“It is by His power that the seed develops, “first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.” Mark 4:28.”

“Growing Up Into Christ”

Growth that comes from staying connected to Jesus

This chapter uses pictures from nature to show how spiritual growth happens: not by anxious effort but by staying joined to Christ, as a branch to the vine. Notice what it says about beholding Him.

Holy Scripture

KJV

4

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

2 Corinthians 3:18

18

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
