  • True Vine
    • Brown: OT, God is the vine pruner (e.g. Flood)
    • OT: Vine is a symbol of Israel.
      • Usually described as 'barren' = corrupt/lack of faith = Jesus is here to restore fruit/faith
      • Equivalent of saying: "I am Judaism" (blasphemy)
    • "You bear much fruit, so prove to be my disciples"
    • Brown: Didache ("we thank you...for the Holy Vine of David...Jesus Christ")
    • Jesus calls himself the TRUE Vine, implying that Israel was a foreshadowing of his coming
    • Provides us with fruit/faith and shelter
    • The disciples have been pruned & can bear fruit/spread the Word (of God)
