Abiding in the Vine

by David A. Duke

Abiding in the Vine is a study of John 15:1-17, written from the perspective of one with more than 30 years experience in the landscape industry, with some farming experience as a child.John 15_17 is a richly illustrated model of the Christian life. Jesus is pictured as the True Vine, His Father as the Vinedresser, and Christians as branches on the Vine. Few passages of scripture are as full of needed teaching as is John 15:1-17. It could have been written specifically for the Church of our day. The spiritual truths in this illustration go far b eyond what we usually glean from reading these verses alone. Understanding the relationship between a natural vine and its branches will yield vital -- and revitalizing -- into our own lives in Christ.Jesus uses an illustration in this life -- this mortal plane -- to teach us great and wonderful spiritual truths. By understanding the truths of a natural vine and how it gives life and sustenance to its branches, eternal truths are more easily seen.
