I am the True Vine

     Viticulture was a prominent part of life among the Israelites.  When Jesus said, "I am the true vine . . . ye are the branches" it was a comparison to grapevines to emphasize our dependence upon Him (John 15:1, 5).  Without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5).  But He will provide nourishment to our spirits.  He will strengthen us.  With Him we can do all things (Luke 18:27).  

     With my new camera, I can post occasional photos along with gospel messages that include plants.  This is a first.
