John Chapter 15 – Abide in the Vine | Jesus the True Vine and the Branches
In John 15, Jesus teaches the vital truth: “I am the Vine; you are the branches.” He calls His disciples to remain in Him to bear fruit, warns that apart from Him they can do nothing, and promises joy and answered prayer to those who abide. He also commands us to love one another and prepares His followers for opposition from the world.
📖 Summary of John 15:
Jesus uses the metaphor of the Vine and branches to illustrate the believer’s dependence on Him. Abiding in Christ produces fruit, glorifies the Father, and proves true discipleship. Jesus emphasizes love as the central command—laying down one’s life for friends. He also warns that the world will hate His followers just as it hated Him, but reassures them of the coming Helper, the Holy Spirit, who will testify about Him.
John 15 shows us that apart from Jesus we can do nothing—He is the Vine, and we are the branches!
