Genesis

The Greek word for “remain” is menō — to stay, to dwell, to make your home somewhere. Jesus uses it four times in one verse. He is not filling space. He is pressing a point. And here is the thing: we were not made to drift. God walked with Adam in the garden every day — that was the original design. Jesus is not asking us to do something new. He is calling us back to what we were always made for.
