Today: [John 15:] Are You Abiding in the Vine? In John chapter 15, Jesus presents Himself as the Vine that we are to abide in. He also implies that we can abide in the Vine that He is and yet be cast out if we do not bear fruit. Is this possible? He also speaks to us, commanding us to love one another as He loved us. Can we love, substantively love each other as Christ loves us? Jesus loved His disciples, even though one of them was a devil. Can you love even when you know as Jesus knew that betrayal was your portion? These are the commands that Jesus gives to us in our chapter study today.
