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
I AM…
Consider what Jesus tells us about
who He is…
-
The Bread of Life (John 6:35)
o
The largest component of our diet is
bread, because physical bread gives us energy.
As the Bread of Life, Jesus is the source of our energy
spiritually.
-
The Light of the World (John 8:12)
o
Light is necessary for life and for
guidance, life on earth would perish without the sun, and we cannot see without
light. As the Light of the World, Jesus
gives us light and guides us into God’s will for that life.
-
The Good Shepherd (John 10:11)
o
Sheep are lost and vulnerable
without a shepherd. As our Good
Shepherd, Jesus guides us, protects us, and even lays down his life for
us. As Jesus’ sheep, do you listen for
his voice?
-
The True Vine (John 15:5)
o
Branches receive nourishment from
the vine to which they are connected. If
they are cut off of that vine, they die.
As the True Vine, Jesus is the source of our nourishment, and being
connected to Him gives us life and allows us to bear fruit.
Pray that we, as well as our
children, will come to know Jesus in a deeper more meaningful way.
Pray that we will seek to stay
connected to Jesus.
