I am the Vine, You are the branches. Abide in Me, as I abide in You

Scripture: Acts 8:26-40  • Psalm 22:25-31  • 1 John 4:7-21  • John 15:1-8

He is the vine, we are the branches. Jesus uses this analogy in telling us that we are to abide in him, as he abides in us. Why does he tell us this? What does he mean? See Sister Kym Harris' Reflection, and Bob Stuhlmann's "Staying Open to the Source? John 15"

 What is it to Abide? Why is this important to us as Christians? To society? Read The Rev. Debie Thomas' "Abide."
