Branching from Christ, The Vine
As I stared at a picture of a leaf, the sight jolted me into a new awareness, recalling what Jesus said: “I Am The Vine. You are the branches,” John 15:5. Branches - not a leaf!
A leaf is a singular thing - independent, not communal.
A leaf cannot bear fruit. It does not spread or reproduce, and, eventually, it falls. A leaf leaves!
“I Am the vine; ye are the branches: he that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing,” John 15:5, King James Version (KJV.)
Jesus Christ The Vine has life, has power.
As branches grow in a healthy manner, they stay in communion with the vine and with other branches, entwining themselves around one another, staying strong, producing fruit, and spreading - making a difference wherever they go.
That’s us! Praise the Lord in Whom we have our life, our power, our fruit, our being.
