I AM series message 5

Text: John 15:1-11

As we wrap up our series on Jesus’ ‘I am…’ statements, we should take a step back and make sure we don’t miss the forest for the trees. Jesus tells us He is…the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, the Door of the Sheep, the Good Shepherd, the Resurrection and the Life, the Way and the Truth and the Life, and now, just as He is preparing the disciples for His death and resurrection, we see that He is the True Vine. When we are prone to distraction Jesus reminds us, again and again, who He is and calls us to find true life in Him, to abide there, and experience the joy of bearing fruit that brings glory to the Father. In nthis message, we turn our attention to the True Vine.
