Abiding in the True Vine (John 15:1-17)

In John 15, Jesus introduces the powerful metaphor of the vine and branches to illustrate the essential nature of our relationship with Him. Jesus, as the true vine, is the source of life, strength, and fruitfulness for His followers, who are the branches. The Father, as the gardener, lovingly prunes and cares for the vine so that it may flourish. For the branches, the key to bearing fruit is remaining or abiding in the vine—staying connected to Jesus.
