I AM the true vine

John 15, Just as branches must remain connected to the vine to bear fruit, we too must stay rooted in Christ to flourish spiritually. The imagery of pruning reminds us that sometimes God allows challenges in our lives to foster greater growth and fruitfulness. We're encouraged to 'abide' in Christ - not just believing, but actively living in His presence and teachings. This deep connection promises not just survival, but abundance: 'bear much fruit.' As we reflect on this, let's consider: How are we staying connected to the 'true vine' in our daily lives? Are we allowing God to prune us for greater spiritual growth?
