During Christ’s last evening with His disciples before He died, He spent this time preparing His disciples for His death and ultimately their life without His physical presence here on earth. The parable of the “Vine and Branches” gives us a powerful picture, illustrating the purging process in the life of a believer in order produce a life of fruitfulness. It is the abiding life that leads to the abounding life.
