Category: The Vine

“5 “I am the vine, you  are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 

6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is  withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.”

Jesus Christ introduced Himself as the Vine and we as the branches. Jesus is simply saying, He is our source, source of everything that makes us who we are. Can a branch exist without the Vine? Every branch is a product of a vine. Without the vine the branch can’t be, that is what Jesus meant when He said, without me you can do nothing. We, as  branches, draws our strength from Jesus, the Vine. We depend wholly on Him for our surviver and livelihood. We cannot do without Him, Oh, you mean you’ve been surviving without Jesus? No, you are just existing, you are not living fully the way you are to live, because without the vine the branch can’t live.

Get this from me, until you become a vine to others you are not living fully, yes, you, as a branch, need to become a vine to others to live through but this can’t be made possible since you are not connected to your source of strength. What you get from the vine, as a branch, is what you are to pass over to other branches from you. You need the vine to the best you’ve been predestined to be. We can’t do without Jesus, our source of everything.

Get connected to Jesus, to identify what your responsibilities are, in order to live a purpose fulfilled life. When the branch is disconnected from the Vine, it might still look fresh but the branch will soon dry up. Go back to your source which is Jesus Christ, our Vine.
