“Abide in Me” – John 15:1-8
Sermon by The Rev. Elizabeth N.H. Link from Sunday, May 2, 2021. "Throughout the gospel of John, Jesus has used a number of 'I am' statements to help explain who he is and how he is connected to God. . . . Into this pastoral moment, Jesus offers one last image, 'I am the vine.' He introduces this idea of extraordinary dependence and reliance on the vine, and he introduces them to a way they can hold onto that promise. It’s a deeply relational image, one of mutual dependence.
I don’t know about you, but I need something deeply relational after a year like we’ve had. I find myself clinging more and more to the language of grace and love and abiding presence we find in scripture. Perhaps that’s why I was drawn to this particular lectionary passage for today. Jesus is speaking to his disciples’ hearts―and through his words, he touches our own."
