The Vine and Branches

Vine & Branches by Lynne Beard

Vine And Branches – The vine and vine leaves are ancient symbols of peace and plenty widely used in both the Old and New Testaments to denote the relationship between God and His people. The vineyard was the sheltered site where the Keeper of the Vineyard (God) tended His vines (the children of God) (Is 5:7).  As an emblem of Christ, it is the “true vine” (Jn 15:1, 5, 8). Vine and vine leaves referred to the Christian church and God as the Keeper of the Vineyard and are also symbols of the Eucharist. This reminds us that all are united with Christ in one mission.
