I Am the Vine

John 15:1–17

When Jesus says “I am” in the Gospel of John, and describes himself as the way, truth, life, light of the world, bread of life, and good shepherd, He’s reminding us how vital it is to have a strong bond with Him. When we obey His teachings and show good qualities – or “fruit” as the Bible puts it – we reflect the life-changing power of Jesus. This highlights the value of a close friendship with Jesus and the difference between a short-term shift and a lasting, deep change in our lives.
