“I am the true vine…” (John 15:1a)
We live in a world where technology abounds. Social media interconnects us in ways new in all human history. With the onset of the Internet, we are just milliseconds away from those who live in the world.
Yet a simple Google search will show that most people suffer from lowliness. It is at epidemic levels, maybe greater than anytime in human history. Something is missing.
Yet Jesus tells us that in Him we share something that is rich and fruitful, interconnecting us in ways I am sure we do not fully understand.
We could probe the meaning of this statement, Jesus is the “true vine”, but never truly grasp the depths of its meaning.
For the next few days, we will together contemplate, maybe only at a surface-level, what it means to us and how Jesus can impact our lives. So together let’s prayerfully look at this amazing statement together. As we prayerfully look at this together, keep in mind Jesus’ question to Peter and the other disciples, “who do you say that I am?” (Luke 9:20).
Prayer for the Day: Grace-filled Father, Your ways are higher than our ways and your understand higher then heavens are above the earth. Help me to understand in a meaningful way, the mean and purpose of this passage. Throughout this week, plant Your word deep in my heart and soul. And like Peter, help me to recognized You as my Lord and Savior. In the wonderful and powerful name of Jesus, the risen Lord. – Amen.
Personal Prayer: “Lord Jesus, You ask – “Who do you say that I am?” Lord, open my mind so I can understand who You are, and who I am in You.”
