I AM the True Vine
The last night of Jesus' life He spoke these words, "I am the good shepherd="the vine - the true one - I AM I AM"(John 15:1-8). As we continue in the I AM series, it would do us well to listen carefully to the words Jesus, himself, wanted us to remember. He is the true vine and we are the branches. There are only two kinds of branches: Branches that bear no fruit (John 15:2a, 6) and Branches that bear fruit (John 15:2b). There is a real danger of being a "sucker" branch that bears no fruit. What kind of branch are you? What kind of fruit do you bear? Listen and be encouraged.
