Sermon #112
As we continue to look at Jesus' "I Am" statements as recorded in the gospel of John, we come to this statement that Jesus said to his disciples in the upper room before his betrayal and crucifixion: "I am the true vine." So we are looking at what it means to be a part of the vine, to be connected to the vine, and to bear fruit in keeping with the nature of the vine. As Jesus said, the branches cannot bear fruit if they are not connected to the vine, and the same is true for us. But Jesus also tells us that when we bear fruit we are pruned. Sometimes when the church seems to be going through adversity, it is really in a period of pruning so that the branches may bear more fruit, all to the glory of God.
John 15:1-8
