This is the final message in our "What's in a Name?" series! We've been exploring the power and meaning behind Jesus' names in the Gospel of John Today, Jesus uses a beautiful metaphor - the vine and the branches - to reveal a deeper meaning behind "abiding" in Him.

Let's unpack how this metaphor expands on the concept of "many rooms" in the Father's house. What it means to truly abide in Jesus and the benefits it brings. How YOU can become a fruitful branch, living a life connected to the vine.

In the Bible, John's gospel, Jesus sets out seven declarations, each beginning with the phrase "I am." Collectively, these statements present a special perspective of Jesus, illustrating how he influences various aspects of our daily lives, including our struggles, fears, questions, hopes, and dreams. The writer of the Gospel of Joh is not interested so much in the man, Jesus of Nazareth, like the other three gospels, as he is in the exalted Christ. This week: Who is Jesus?
