John 15 · Grade 3
Remain in Me
Read the Story
Jesus said, I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer. Every branch that bears fruit, He prunes so it bears more. Jesus said, Remain in Me, and I in you. A branch cannot bear fruit by itself. It must remain in the vine.
Jesus said, I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in Me bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. When we bear much fruit, the Father is glorified.
Jesus said, This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. No one has greater love than to lay down his life for his friends. Jesus called His disciples friends, not servants. He chose them to bear fruit that lasts. He said the world might hate them, as it hated Him.
