*Every Branch that Bears Fruit Must be Pruned.*
_(Wednesday 5th May 2021. Read Acts 15:1-6, Psalm 122 and John 15:1-8)_

_*“Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit.” (John 15:2)*_

In the parables of the Lost Coin, the Lost Sheep, the Prodigal Son, more attention is placed on the lost the strayed, the sinner. So what happens to the good guy? What is the lot of the ninety-nine obedient sheep?

Jesus answers in today’s Gospel passage. For choosing to be the good sheep, for making effort to bear fruits, for deciding not to get lost, for not breaking away from the vine, the reward one gets is constant pruning.

What does it mean to be pruned? It is going under the knife. Pruning is something farmers do to encourage growth and achieve their desired outcome in a plant. As Jesus says, “the branch that does bear fruit is pruned, that it may bear more fruit.”

Pruning is shaping. It usually involves cutting off rough edges, taking out dead leaves etc. In other words, when God prunes us, He shapes us, cutting off here and there those things that are preventing us from growing spiritually that we may bear more fruit.

The truth is that pruning is painful. To be pruned is to suffer something; it is having to swallow some bitter pills or being pierced with an injection. Sometimes we end up praying against these seemingly negative circumstances we face not knowing that we are simply being pruned.

It is through these pruning experiences that we get to be better Christians. Do you hope to bear fruits? Then expect constant pruning. Do not have the attitude of one who feels that God is owing him or her. Don’t expect trophies for being a good Christian, you would never know when pride would take you over. God knows this so He prunes us, He makes us cry sometimes just so that we can be better christians
