At the beginning of John 15, Jesus tells his disciples that he is the vine and that they are branches. This reality doesn’t only apply to them, but also to all of us who are part of the church. How do we live as branches? What does it mean that God the Father as the vinedresser will prune us? How does fruit begin to grow through us as branches? Listen to this message from Father Jeremiah to find out.
Comfort through the Way, and the Truth, and the Life, John 14.1-14
On the night that he was betrayed, Jesus brought comfort to his disciples through telling them who he was and that what he did would reveal to them that he is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Comfort was what they needed on that confusing night in the Upper Room. In our every day lives, we need comfort as well and Jesus’ words are just as comforting when we bring them to bear upon our own lives now.
