John 15:1-4

  • The True Vine

    John 15 1 jesus said i am the true vine windows01 266552338 andrew murray quote a soul filled with large thoughts of the vineThere is no distinction between the vine and its branches. From the moment it emerges from the soil, the vine begins to spread.

    It is its branch.

    To belong to Jesus Christ is to be part of the true vine.

    For this reason, we can pray in complete confidence, because when our wills are united with his, we will pray as part of the living vine.

    The image of Jesus Christ is all about growth, which happens organically, from within the very substance of the vine.

    Nourished by the sun, by rain and chemicals which feed it from the soil in which it is planted, the vine forces its way into the light.

    We have here an image of growth which gives us a powerful understanding of what it means to belong to Jesus Christ.
