Theme
We need to connect to and pull spiritual nourishment from Jesus to sustain the divine life planted in our hearts.
Comment
Like a baby nursing from its mother's breast, we depend on Jesus to provide us with spiritual nourishment. Another example is the branches of a vine connected to the trunk and roots. To have life and get nourishment, the branch depends on its connection to the main trunk or it will die. Without His spirit and teachings feeding our divine life, it will not grow or make fruit. Jesus often told people He was food or drink. They needed to consume Him - to get Him inside them. Is it any surprise then that the communion remembrance ceremony is the eating of bread and wine.
Verses
- “I am the vine, and you are the branches. If you stay joined to me, and I to you, you will produce plenty of fruit. But separated from me you won’t be able to do anything. John 15:5
- "I am the bread that gives life." John 6:48
- But anyone who drinks the water I give will never be thirsty again. The water I give people will be like a spring flowing inside them. It will bring them eternal life.” John 4:14
