Jesus I AmPrzykład

If you had one last meal with your loved ones, what would you say? If you could throw just one more party, and all of your closest friends and family arrived, you ate together, laughed together, shared stories together, and then everyone silenced and looked at you. What words would come out of your mouth? Surely you would want to say something that sticks, that gets stuck in everyone’s head and that lasts forever. Jesus had this type of opportunity in John, chapter 15. He gathered his best friends, his disciples, around a table for his last meal with them the night before his death. He was hours away from being arrested and killed, but he stopped, looked into the eyes of the disciples and said something that would stick in their minds forever! That evening gave birth to his final sermon. Don’t you think he chose every word carefully? What did he say? “I am the vine. You are the branches.” Jesus, the vine. Jesus, the trunk. You are the branch. We are the twigs. Everything rises and falls on the strength of the vine. The vine keeps the plant alive. Believe Jesus is the vine today. Let him be your strength. Jesus is the True Vine.
