Ronald Derayunan you are very kind. I'm glad you found it helpful.
Thank you for the production! What would add to the point he is making in this verse to is the part where he says about those branches that do not produce fruit he cuts off(or lifts up in some translations) and also thrown into the fire.
Yes. what is your take on Jesus' words here?
@@SteveThomason Well, depending on which translation you lean toward, Jesus could be saying a couple things.
1. It you use the 'cut off' translation, it would be that those who aren't producing fruit are not abiding in the vine and therefore need to be cut off as they are unprofitable branches. I'm wondering, are these the same branches that are also ''thrown into the fire' later on in that verse.
2. If you take the 'lift up' translation, it would mean that the vinedresser saw the branch was struggling (perhaps no lights, being trampled on the ground etc) and 'lifted it up
in order to train it to produce fruit.
I tend to lead toward the first translation for a couple reasons. What do you think Steve?
And thank you for asking !
This was so helpful!! Thank you.
WOW!!! This animated illustration is so beautiful, clear & impactful. Truly you are anointed & skilled to bring across this message of the gospel to feed whoever will come & drink & be filled! Thanks million! Praise God & He increases you yet more to keep flowing out of His fullness!
Thank you. I’m so glad you found this helpful.
God bless you as I too enjoyed learning from your sketched video😊. Thank you.
Beautiful! Thank you sir, God bless🙂
So nice of you
Wow great. May I ask if u have ever expanded this short video to include more about the pruning (grape vines are ambitiously pruned) and about the overflow and connection? Jn 15 is pivotal in an authentic walk with God.
This Is So Good!!!!!! W@w!! What a revelation.... 🙌🏾 Thanku 4 sharing!!!😊

Thanks for making this. Im gunna show my kids this.
my kids are 6 and 8. I know they will not fully understand. My 8yr old I think got more of it, and your drawing kept them watching. But when they grow they will remember and hopefully this will help them more to understand when they are reading themselves and the Spirit is showing them. i hope this will help their little light bulbs to go off in their heads.........p.s. Antonio is my husband I need to set up my own account. :) thanks again.
Love it. Do more presentations of Word

Thanks for sharing this with us. I am a visual person. I plan to us this in our women's Tea Time with God program. God bless 🙏
You're welcome. I hope it is helpful.
Lovely imagery. I left Christianity behind long ago, but as a gardener and forest dweller, this strikes home. Just find it interesting that the roots of the tree sunken into the living soil were not expounded upon. This soil is our mother and without her, we lack the nutritious complex to transform the energy of the sun into tasty fruit.
Thanks for that additional layer of imagery. I totally agree. All metaphors are limited and expansive at the same time. Thanks for reaching out.
Very nice
Good explanation I miss enturperated this before
Glad it was helpful!
This is a clear illustration of John 15:5. I am going to use it for our Sunday School. Maraming Salamat!
+Rosalina Bergonia Thanks, Rosalina! Glad you found it helpful.
Enjoyed.
How do I get a poster of this image today in my wall?
Awesome illustration! Thanks! I'm in children's ministry in South-Africa, we minister in schools, and I will love to use this in a lesson on Fruit of the Spirit.
+Hannelie Le Roux That is wonderful. Thanks for letting me know. I'd love to know how the kids respond to it.
Thank you for this excellent interpretation! Please know that I will be showing this to my teenage children to gain deeper understanding of God's Love. Be Blessed!
I'm so glad you found it helpful. Thanks for sharing.

The essence of Christianity is indeed defined in the parable of the Vine keeper. We are not here to just save our own souls but to bring forth God's Kingdom on Earth. This can never be done by faith alone.
Jesus defines Christianity and his mission in John 15. Jesus said, I am the True Vine and you are my branches. Those who remain and me and produce much fruit, will have eternal life." No, there is nothing we can do to add to Christ death on the cross. However, we will ALL face our day of judgement Matt 16:27, when the book of life will be opened. There will be no get-out-of-jail-free pass for the self-defined "elect". We must ALL be judged on how much 'good fruit' we have produced aka, our WORKS, which can never be achieved by faith alone. Only as co labourers (1 Cor 3:9) with Christ can his Church achieve the mission he started. The essence of Christianity my friends is not merely the saving of our own soul, but to bring for His Kingdom on Earth, which can NEVER be achieved by faith ALONE. Comments?
Jesus is God
If we are connected in Christ. He will help us to bear fruit. Is the bearing of the fruit the word?
Great question. As I read the text it seems that the fruit is “to love one another “
Wow great
