Weekly Pursuit – Week 2 of October
Verses:
John 15:1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman.”
Excerpts:
The Lord is not a tall pine tree but a spreading vine tree. Today’s Christ is spreading Himself everywhere throughout the globe. The vine tree I have seen is Christ as the true vine. This vine needs the entire globe for its spreading. In John 15 the Lord said, “I am the true vine”. Only one vine is uniquely true. This is Christ spreading around the globe. Christ as the true vine has spread Himself from America to places such as Russia, Poland, Romania, South Africa, South America, New Zealand, and Australia.
The true vine is a sign of the all-inclusive Christ as the organism of the processed and consummated Triune God. Its branches are the believers of Christ, who by nature were branches of the wild olive tree and have been grafted into the cultivated olive tree through their believing into Christ. Both the cultivated olive tree and the true vine signify Christ. Hence, to be grafted into the cultivated olive tree is to be grafted into the true vine. Its grafted branches have been regenerated with the divine life, brought into the life union with the crucified and resurrected Christ, and incorporated with the processed and consummated Triune God. This is for the unlimited Triune God’s multiplication [and] for His universal spreading through the fruit-bearing of the believers of Christ as the branches by their faithful abiding in Christ for the glorification of the Father.
