Who Is Jesus? - III

I am the vine.

Like all the plants, the roots of a grape vine absorb nutrients, passing them into the vine, and onto the branches. The vine is the vital connection for the branches. Any branch that is not connected to the vine will not survive. It will not receiving any life-giving input. It will not bear fruit. It will whither an die. 

The purpose of a branch on a grape vine is to bear grapes. Without the vine, a branch does not fulfill its purpose, its life dries and it is not worth anything.

Jesus is our connection to life and purpose.
