    As Jesus was preparing for His eventual arrest and crucifixion, He wanted to leave His disciples with a message. What He gives them is a simple, yet profound illustration, to succinctly explain everything we need to live as believers. With His usual candor, He also outlines what could happen if we don't follow His words, but overall, the message is clear. We must stay connected to Him. Our prayer today is that these words would be both encouraging and challenging for us as we prepare our hearts for Easter Sunday.
