The Authentic Disciple Jesus final charge to His disciples: John 15:1-27
The Authentic Disciple 1. Living in Christ- “The True Vine” • We are the branches • We attach to the vine by abiding and remaining • A dependent relationship
The Authentic Disciple 2. Called to bear fruit • Pruned by the Father through the Word • The fruit- a Christ-like life • Proves or authenticates our discipleship • Fruitless branches are useless in the vineyard
The Authentic Disciple 3. The command to live-the best fruit • We love as Jesus loved • Jesus loved to the death • Love must start between believers • Heads up! The world will hate us
