The image of
vine and branches are taken to explain the inner reality of the new people
formed by Jesus. Jesus is the vine and we, the branches. Hence, each one of us
has to consider how we are joined with Jesus through faith, prayer, and by
keeping his word. Otherwise we will be cut off from him. Those who remain with
him will be ‘pruned’ with suffering to grow in a life of union with Christ to
produce more fruits of the Spirit.
