The Vine | Loved By Jesus #28 | Pastor Philip Miller

“I am the true vine” is the seventh and final “I AM” statement in John’s Gospel. The vine is used as a symbol for God’s covenant people, Israel. And whenever this metaphor is used, the emphasis is always on Israel’s failure to produce the fruit that God desired. Here, however, we have Jesus applying this metaphor to Himself because the fruit that Israel failed to bear, He will bear in Himself when He is crucified.

Pastor Miller reminds us that only Jesus provides true access to the living, pulsating, abundant life of God. When we try to find life in anything else, it never really satisfies.
