In this week’s study, Derek will be taking a look at the Parable of the Vine and the Branches, which Jesus gave in John’s gospel. This parable concerns the disciples’ relationship with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and with God the Father. Jesus expressed the need for the disciples to abide in Him, using a picture of a vine—with branches, sap, and a gardener—all elements relating to the three persons of the Godhead.
