Jesus Gives Life to Those Connected to Him ㅡ

 “I am the vine, you are the branches: He that stays in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.”

 (John 15:5)

The connection of the branch with the vine, He said, represents the relation you are to sustain to Me.

The scion is engrafted into the living vine, and fiber by fiber, vein by vein, it grows into the vine stock.

The life of the vine becomes the life of the branch.

So the soul dead in trespasses and sins receives life through connection with Christ.

By faith in Him as a personal Saviour the union is formed.

The sinner unites his weakness to Christ’s strength, his emptiness to Christ’s fullness, his frailty to Christ’s enduring might.

Then he has the mind of Christ.

The humanity of Christ has touched our humanity, and our humanity has touched divinity.

Thus through the agency of the Holy Spirit man becomes a partaker of the divine nature.

He is accepted in the Beloved.
