And this was not lost on early Christians. One of the first images they used to mark their graves was the vine and branches. An amazing thing about a vine and its branches is that you canʼt tell the difference between them. Look at a grapevine and try to determine which is the branch and which is the vine or trunk. You canʼt, since it appears as one seamless reality. Jesus invites us to be so close to him that we appear to be just like him other Christs, as our name Christian suggests! Second, the sap that springs from the vine, runs through the branches, and matures in the fruit is all the same. The life in Jesus and the life in us as Christians are the same. He has given us the same Spirit that animated him, the Holy Spirit. This is why Jesus can guarantee that, if we remain in him by listening to his word and following his Spirit, we will definitely bear much fruit. His word and Spirit cannot remain sterile in us. The most important result of being united to Jesus and bearing fruit is that not only will we be united to him in this life, but this friendship will last for all eternity. Thatʼs why early Christians put vines on their tombs. Fr. Mark Haydu, LC 2018 Liguori Publications, Liguori, MO Printed in USA.
