The True Vine
Yochanan 15:1–17abidingkingdomfruit
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.
Yisrael was the vine that did not bear. Yeshua names Himself the true vine — the one Yisrael 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.
- Tehillim 80:8–19You brought a vine out of Mitzrayim — visit this vine
- Yeshayahu 5:1–7The vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Yisrael
