In the Old Testament, the Israelites are repeatedly portrayed as the vine (Ps. 80:8-18; Jer. 2:21; Hos.10:1-2). It is significant that whenever Israel is referred to as the vine, or sometimes as vineyard, it is also being judged for its barrenness (Jer. 2:21; Isa. 5:1-7).  But in the New Testament in John 15:1-8, Jesus portrays himself as the true vine in contrast with Israel.

Today, let us be challenged to ask ourselves, "Where do I put my faith and trust? Are fruits evident in my life as a follower of Christ?" Join me in this short devotional lesson as we dive in to and reflect on these questions.
