Jesus compared Himself to the main vine of a grapevine, and He said people are like the branches. Some are the true branches attached to the vine and will be fruitful, and others are just secondary branches to be cut off. The people who trust in Jesus as the way to Heaven are the actual branches, while the other branches are those who try to get there on their own. Are you attached to Jesus the Vine? Or are you connected to some other way or idea of good works? There is only one way to get to Heaven, and that is to trust Jesus to forgive our sins and accept Him into our lives as Lord and Savior. In John 14:6, Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” When we do that, we shall be like a fruitful branch attached to the Vine. If you have never asked Jesus to be your Savior, do it now. Do not be cast away like an unfruitful branch. — John 15:6
