The Vine and the Branches
John 15:1-17
Have you ever grown and harvested grapes? Share what you know about this process.
Read John 15:1-4. Consider verse 1. How is Jesus the true grapevine? What does the Father as gardener do?
Consider verse 2. Some commentators say that a better translation is that God lifts up the branches that aren’t producing so that they get nourishment. What are your thoughts?
According to Jesus what is the position of the disciples? v.3 How does a branch remain fruitful? v.4
Read John 15:5-8. What does God want to see from our lives? How are we able to be fruitful?
Read John 15:9-17. How has Jesus loved us?
What does it mean to us that Jesus calls us friends?
What does Jesus mean that we are chosen and appointed by Him in verse 16?
What is the fruit we are appointed to produce?
Pray
Thank Jesus for choosing you and making your life fruitful.
Submit to Jesus, acknowledging your need of Him for your life to have meaning.
Admit that you can do nothing without Him and ask Him to help you to love others.
