Day 5 John 15:1
Day 5
John 15:1
I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
Today, notice Who the Father is - The word "husbandman" refers to the vine dresser, the gardener, the one who has the responsibility of caring for the vineyard. Jesus says that the Heavenly Father is the Gardener. Many times in our Christian lives we try to be the ones who take the test and grade it. We try to manipulate and control outcomes. We make excuses and alter expectations. However, Jesus clearly says that the Father is the One who prunes, cuts off and ultimately judges. Does this bring you joy or sorrow? Perhaps we should ask ourselves, why?
