Last week, we heard how #Jesus showed He was the source of #life.  This week, we hear what He said to clarify that He is that source.  Jesus and His disciples were surrounded by agriculture and one of the biggest crops and even their national symbol had something in common.  All through the Old Testament the nation of Israel was referred to as a grape vine and not always in a positive way.  But Christ said that He is the true vine.  In what ways is Jesus Christ the vine that is true and perfect?  If Jesus is the vine, who are the branches?  Why is that important?  What happens to a branch apart from the vine?  Once the branch is attached to the vine, how does it produce fruit?  What kind of fruit would you reasonably expect from a grape vine?  What kind of fruit does the Bible say we can expect from our vine?

Did you know #Christ is not #Jesus’ last name?  It is his title and it means #Messiah and #Savior.  The first ‘I am’ that Jesus demonstrated was ‘I am the vine.’  He showed this with His first miracle at the wedding in Canaa.  Why would Mary ask her son to fix the problem that occurred?  Is there any importance that this happened at a wedding?  What is the significance of the elements of this miracle?  What happens to fruit that is not on the vine?  How did this miracle embody the Gospel principles of ’trust and obey?’  Why did they have big quantities of water sitting around?  What was said about the quality of the wine Jesus produced by this miracle?  Were Christ’s miracles tricks or did they have another purpose?  

As I sit here summarizing the message for you, I am bothered by a bird fighting his own reflection on my glass window.  It reminds me that the World right now is in turmoil.  I am made in God’s image and so is my neighbor.  When I fight with my neighbor, I am therefore fighting my own reflection.  The Devil wants us to believe our enemy is our neighbor, but we are actually in a spiritual battle.  The Bible says that we struggle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities.
