Why Does It Grow?
\nJohn 15:1-8<\/strong><\/p>\n

May the Grace and Peace be with you in the name of Jesus Christ! <\/p>\n

Last week, we heard Jesus say, \u201cI am the Good Shepherd.\u201d In the Gospel of John, there are many other metaphors where Jesus refers to himself as \u201cI am something.\u201d What else you remember besides the Good Shepherd?
\nAccording to Jesus, he is the Good Shepherd, but we are just sheep. Considering sheep\u2019s characteristics, we would not like to be compared to sheep. In today\u2019s lesson, Jesus described himself, \u201cI am the true vine. And he said [as his followers], \u201cWe are branches.\u201d What does this mean? <\/p>\n

In this metaphor, the branches are the ones that bear fruit, the grapes. The reason why the grapevine may bear grapes is because branches carry nutritious ingredients to the vine flowers that become grapes.
\nIn this metaphor there is no doubt that Jesus wanted to teach us the importance of connectedness between the grapevine and its branches. Said another way, faith nourishes each branch. Without God\u2019s miraculous nutrients to each branch, there wouldn\u2019t be grapes on each branch.
\nDuring this past week, I read the text again and again. I found that there is a very important aspect in the grapevine metaphor that is a bit different from other metaphors, such as the good shepherd, the bread of life, the gate, the resurrection, the way, the truth, and the life. <\/p>\n

In order for the grapevine to bear fruit, it is a necessity to have branches. If there are no branches, the grapevine cannot bear grapes. The branches do not need to know every detail about why the flowers bloom first and the small petals fall and then the bottom parts of the many petals became grapes. However, the branches carry rich nutrients that come from the grapevine to the flowers and then the grapes. Again, the grapevine needs its branches.
\nThrough this metaphor, what is Jesus saying to us? What is Jesus telling us to do? For the father, the grapevine grower, and for the Son, Jesus Christ, the branches are so important to bear fruit. Jesus is saying he needs us.
\nIf there are no followers of Jesus, no Christians are born. What followers, the branches, need to do is carry Jesus\u2019 love that comes from the grapevine, to children, the grapes. This is done through faith in Jesus Christ, so we\u2019re vitally connected to Christ.
\nI think showing Jesus\u2019 love to our children is simple. Whatever we receive grace and love from Jesus; we should just pour that love unto our children. We are branches and do not need to think about details, and carry his love to others.
\nWe are still in Easter season, by reflecting upon Jesus\u2019 forgiveness, we should renew our faithful hearts and carry Jesus\u2019 love and grace to our next generation and the generations to come. Jesus loves each one of us and Jesus needs us to carry that love to others, especially the children. Amen.<\/p>\n

\u30a2\u30fc\u30e1\u30f3 \u5b89\u9054\u5747 Why Does It Grow? John 15:1-8 May the Grace and Peace be with you in the name of Jesus Christ! Last week, we heard Jesus say, \u201cI am the Good Shepherd.\u201d In the Gospel of John, there are many other metaphors where Jesus refers to himself as \u201cI am something.\u201d What else you remember besides the Good Shepherd? According to Jesus, he is the Good Shepherd, but we are just sheep. Considering sheep\u2019s characteristics, we would not like to be compared to sheep. In today\u2019s lesson, Jesus described himself, \u201cI am the true vine. And he said [as his followers], \u201cWe are branches.\u201d What does this mean? In this metaphor, the branches are the ones that bear fruit, the grapes. The reason why the grapevine may bear grapes is because branches carry nutritious ingredients to the vine flowers that become grapes. In this metaphor there is no doubt that Jesus wanted to teach us the importance of connectedness between the grapevine and its branches. Said another way, faith nourishes each branch. Without God\u2019s miraculous nutrients to each branch, there wouldn\u2019t be grapes on each branch. During this past week, I read the text again and again. I found that there is a very important aspect in the grapevine metaphor that is a bit different from other metaphors, such as the good shepherd, the bread of life, the gate, the resurrection, the way, the truth, and the life.
