John 15:1-8 Remain in Jesus, the true vine!
Listen to these instructions, “Remain in the garden area and your tomato plant will bear many tomatoes.” But as soon as the plant was in hand, the listening stopped and a new place to plant the tomato plant was found. Weeks later when tomatoes typically appear, there were none to be found outside the garden. The one given the tomato plant did not listen carefully to the instructions for the kind of soil, sun exposure and water schedule necessary for tomatoes to bear fruit, and with no fruit, the withered plant was thrown out. Jesus tells us that he is the vine, and we are the branches. When we do not remain in his words, we no longer remain in him. When we listen to him, we remain in him, the true vine.
