--IN THE VINE~~

"No branch can
bear fruit by itself;
it must remain in
the vine. Neither
can you bear fruit
unless you remain
in me." - (John 15:4) --

--By calling Himself the Vine, Jesus was speaking of an image familiar to the Israelites in the Old Testament, for there the vine symbolized God's people (Psalm 80:8-9; Hosea 10:1). Jesus extended this symbolism to Himself, saying He was the Vine and that His followers were grafted into Him as branches. And as they remained in Him, receiving His nourishment and strength, they would bear fruit (John 15:5).

When we who believe in Jesus embrace the idea of being as close to Him as a branch is to a vine, our faith is strengthened and enriched. Jesus is always as close as the mention of His Name.

--"LORD Jesus, thank You for helping me to remain in You. May I find the peace, hope, and strength I need today. Thank You, Lord Jesus for rescuing me from this world. I am now Heaven-bound with You, Yahweh! YHWH~
