I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman. Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it that it may bring forth more fruit. John, Chapter 15, verses 1-2.
I love the comparison Jesus makes in this chapter with a grapevine and His followers (Christians.) Just like the farmer in the grape vineyard who cuts down unproductive branches, God weeds out so-called Christians who aren’t productive, as well. Christians who produce fruit will be trained in the ways to become better examples of how God works in their lives. I need to be a better example, because I sure wouldn’t want to get pruned!
