The Vineyard- April 6, 2014

The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

Isaiah 50:4-11
Pray for God to speak to you through the reading of His word. 
Read the passage. 
-          Jesus was Obedient
o   Why do you think Jesus was willing to be obedient, and suffer such pain and humiliation for us?
-          Jesus was Vindicated
o   Jesus was vindicated legally by the fact that Pilate said he could not find him guilty, and yet the world still crucified a totally innocent man.  Jesus was vindicated by God when he was raised on the third day.  Have you ever suffered, even though you were innocent?  Do you trust in God for your vindication? 
-          Choosing the Right Light
o   The world is a very dark place at times.  What is your response to the darkness of this world?  Do you try to create your own light, your own answer to the problems we face?  Or, do you rely on the light of God, the only eternal and perfect light?
Pray that we will be obedient to God’s will, just as Jesus was.    
Pray that we will trust in God to vindicate us, rather than seeking revenge for ourselves. 

Pray that we will choose the light of God, over the light that the world tries to make.
