The True Vine

Yochanan 15:1–17
abidingkingdomfruit
What Yeshua is saying

Yeshua is the true vine, His Father the gardener; branches that abide in Him bear much fruit, branches that do not are gathered and burned.

The explanation

Israel was the vine that did not bear. Yeshua names Himself the true vine — the one Israel was meant to be. Apart from Him you can do nothing. Abiding is not striving; it is staying connected. Fruit is the proof; love is the fruit; joy is the side effect.
