He is the Vine and we are the branches. Another way to say and understand that verse is that He is the tree trunk and we are the branches, since we have not spent much time around grape vines. He is the stock and we draw our life from the Source the root thru the vine/trunk. An amazing thing is that we can take a orange tree and graft a branch into the trunk and produce grapefruits off the same tree that produces oranges!
That brings me to the thought of the day. Jesus is the main Vine/trunk and we are grafted in to him, as the wild olive branch the Word says. We are to take our nourishment from the root (God) and produce fruit to Him. Unfortunately we have been able to graft our denominations into the true Vine and produce our denominations over and over again, when God's plan was to produce Jesus. We have a Vine/trunk that was to be full of branches of Jesus, and somehow it is full of Baptist, Methodist, Lutherans, etc. How did that happen?
