                John records much of what Jesus told His disciples in His last hours before He was arrested and crucified. We find this record in the book of John, chapters 13 through 17. In the first part of chapter 15, Jesus gives His disciples an analogy to illustrate the relationship we have with Him and with God the Father. Jesus describes Himself as a vine, believers in Him as branches of the vine, and the Father as the vinedresser, the master of the vineyard.

                ABIDING IN THE VINE is a detailed, deeper look at this illustration, given by one who has spent more than 25 years in the "green industry", working intensively with plants and gardens. There are many true and valuable comparisons between how a vine grows in the natural world and how the Vine grows in this world.
