Ep. 31 - The True Vine

Today we are looking at the last of Jesus’ I Am statements in the Gospel of John. The last six weeks we’ve been asking, “What did He claim?” We’ve seen so far that Jesus made a number of huge claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. Today, in John 15, we come to Jesus’ final I Am Statement, the last of these seven claims in this book. In this passage, Jesus offers His last I am statement by communicating that He is the vine and people are branches. We are to abide in Him and He in us so that as His disciples we might bear fruit for God’s glory and our joy.
