The True Vine

Thirty-one day devotional on the Gospel of John chapter 15. Andrew Murray explores the relationship of the branches to the True Vine and challenges Christians to a deeper relationship with Christ.


Excerpt: “I have felt drawn to try to write what young Christians might easily apprehend, as a help to them to take up that position in which the Christian life must be a success. It is as if there is not one of the principal temptations and failures of the Christian life that is not met here. The nearness, the all-sufficiency, the faithfulness of the Lord Jesus, the naturalness, the fruitfulness of a life of faith, are so revealed, that it is as if one could with confidence say, Let the parable enter into the heart, and all will be right.”
