John 15:1 - Additional Comments

This is probably at the close of the last supper. They may still be at the table.
Compare this to Isaiah 5:1-7. God intended for Israel to be the vineyard, but they failed. Jesus then became the fulfillment of the Law, the true vine. God is the one who is the farmer, the one who feeds the plants, nourishes them, makes sure they are healthy, works to prevent injury, pain, enemies from hurting the plant.
Jesus is the true vine. Any other vine (other religions, self, things of this world, etc.) may look like they can provide the needed strength and nourishment, but are false. Trusting in them will only lead to failure and death. What do you trust for strength?
