How would you describe someone who is strong and powerful? Someone who is immovable? Where would people go to be protected by enemies or disaster? Castles are often built on a rock. David went into the rocks to hide from Saul. He also used a rock to kill a giant. But the true rock is God. He was the one that was with David when he faced Goliath.

We need a firm foundation and we need it to stand firm. We can only do that with Christ being that foundation. And what we stand on is His words…the truth.

Jesus uses much about the pastoral and agricultural lifestyle of Israel in His parables and analogies. Much of their wealth and well-being is based on their vineyards and olive gardens. Here, Jesus says, “I am the vine.” The vine is the sustainer; without the vine there is no fruit. The vine is the livelihood of the family business. Jesus is described as the cornerstone. It is the same principle. He is the foundation of our faith, of our life. Continue reading “I AM’s…The Vine”
