Fruit Bearing

On his way to the garden, Jesus told the disciples that they had not chosen him. He had chosen them. He explained to them the requirement of staying connected to the vine to remain fruitful and how the Father would cleanse us to make us more fruitful. Earlier in his ministry, he told the parable of the fig tree that wouldn't bear fruit. The lessons of torn dirt and a dunged tree instruct us in a life of fruit bearing.
