Merkel Church Of Christ

The last formal lesson Christ taught His apostles (chosen disciples) was that of the True Vine and its branches (John 15:1-8, 9). When the apostles’ hearts were troubled at His leaving (John 14:1), He instructed them to abide/remain in Him and let His word abide/remain in them so that they might love each other and bear much fruit to the glory of His Father.
