Personal Reflection
                O Christmas Tree                                    Personal Reflection
                O Christmas Tree




                                                                 Jesus   fulfills   the   Messianic   promise   by
                                                                 coming  from  the  line  of  David.  Jesus  is  the
                                                                 vine   that   connects   the   Old   and   New
                                                                 Testament  together.  There  has  been  much
                                                                 pruning   throughout   the   history   of   God’s
                                                                 people,   but   God’s   promise   remained.   The
                                                                 vine  was  never  cut.  We,  too,  are  branches
                                                                 grafted   to   God’s   promise   through   Jesus,
                                                                 the true vine.

                                                                 As   a   group   we   have   been   learning   that
                                                                 even  though  pruning  sometimes  hurts,  it  is
                                                                 necessary   to   help   us   bare   good   fruit   and
                                                                 remain attached to the vine.


                                                                 How   and   when   have   you   been   pruned   to

                                                                 bare more fruit?
