Focusing on another key word: meno, which is deeply connected to abiding in joy through Christ.
Jesus said in John 15:9-11:
"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love."
That word remain is also translated as abide—the Greek word meno.
The Greek word meno means to stay, dwell, or continue. It is an active and ongoing process. However, it’s not about striving harder to be with Christ or trying to accomplish more for Him. Instead, it’s about resting in His love and staying connected to Him in our daily lives.
Notice that Jesus connects abiding with joy. He doesn’t say, “Try harder, do more, and you’ll eventually find joy.” Instead, He tells us that true joy is a natural outcome of abiding—of remaining—of staying close to Him.
