I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
I AM THE TRUE VINE / JOHN 15:1
The vine is frequently used in the Old Testament as a symbol of Israel (Psalms 80:8-16; Isaiah 5:1-7: Jeremiah 2:21), but it was often shown as inadequate or lacking in some way. But in this word picture, Jesus describes Himself as “the true vine” and those who have become His followers as “the branches.” By remaining attached to Him as the source of life, they produce fruit. To produce spiritual fruit means to develop godly character (Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9; Philippians 1:11), set a godly example (Matthew 3:8; 7:16-20), do effective service and lead others to Christ. God is the gardener who takes care of the branches in order that they may be fruitful (John 14:2, 8). God expects all of us to grow and produce spiritual fruit (Matthew 3:8).
