Hold on to Jesus

Hey guys I was just thinking how amazing Jesus spoke to the people about life matters within practical everyday analogies that the simple minded people knew. For example, I've been looking at John 15:1-8, the parable of the vine and branch. He knew the majority of everyone were farmers so he chose a topic that everyone understood already. Basically, in a nut shell you have a vine which is what the branches are attached to. If the the branches are not attached to the vine, the branches will not get stronger and not produce fruit and will die. Spiritually speaking we are the branches and Jesus is the vine. When we hold on to Jesus, we are able to be sustained and able to produce fruit. Also, something that has been on my heart for awhile, I feel we as the youth in the church we start losing connection with Jesus the moment we compromise our values/beliefs so that we can " hang out " with people. Don't ever forget who you are and in any situation HOLD ON TO JESUS.
