Jesus identified the Father as the gardener or vinedresser. It is the gardener who takes the initiative to start the garden. He does the work to break up the soil and plant seed. He is the one who is most motivated to see healthy plants that produce fruit. It is the fruit that motivates the gardener to plant the garden in the first place.
It is fruit that the Father is looking for. It is fruit that he builds his kingdom on. So, he is vitally concerned with the connection of each branch to the vine, because it is that connection that produces the fruit. So, he plans, strategizes and works to strengthen that connection in each person’s life.
If fruit builds the kingdom and the connection produces the fruit, then our connection to God is the strongest power in the universe.
