John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches: He that stays in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit… A Sunday school teacher was trying to make his class understand this lesson. "Jesus is the Vine," said he, "we are the branches; we get all our life and happiness from Him." "Yes," said a little fellow in the class, "Jesus is the Vine, grown up people are the branches, and we young ones are the buds." In the natural vine the buds do not bear any fruit. But in Jesus, the Spiritual Vine, even the buds can be fruitful; the youngest can make themselves useful. (J. L. Nye.) Parallel Verses KJV: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. |
