Jesus, the True Vine (1)

When we turn to John 15 we read further of our Lord's last words to His apostles just before He was arrested and taken from them to be crucified. Here our Lord speaks of Himself as the source of life, even of fruitful life, for His people. Here we learn of the blessings of abiding in Jesus Christ and the consequences of failing to do so. May our God give us greater understanding of our union with our Savior and the greater desire and appreciation to experience more fully the blessing of abiding in Him.
