True Vine, the
Description
Bearing much fruit is not a demand but a promise and result of abiding in Christ.
Fruit is not a result of the branch's effort; it is the responsibility of the vine. That is one reason Christ used the grapevine as a picture of the Christian's relationship to Him.
Andrew Murray looks closely at this metaphor in this classic work, exploring it in 31 gripping chapters. From the vine we can learn to
- depend absolutely and confidently upon the Vinedresser, the Father
- have the same nature as the vine - avoid withering
- benefit from the vine's blessing for fruit bearing
- have intimacy with the vine
- abide in the vine
Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was a church leader, evangelist, and missionary statesman. His other books include The School of Obedience, Waiting on God, Absolute Surrender and The Prayer Life
