IS IT LIFE-UNION?

"I AM the vine; ye are the branches," declares Jesus Christ to His disciples. There is, there can be, no other union between a vine and its fruit-bearing branches than that of life. Branches may be tied together, or tied on to the tree. But in such bringing together there is no union. There may be unity of purpose on the part of him who tied them together, but there is no life-union. Break the outward tie; and the branches fall away. There is no flowing of life-current, no fiber strain; for there has been no real union. How are you connected with Christ? Are you tied on by church forms? or is there life-union?
