"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
Every [true] branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away [premature death*],
and every branch that does bear fruit He prunes [activities / interests that don't fit your future], that it may bear more fruit...
I am the Vine; you are the branches.
Whoever abides in Me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." |

"I lay down My life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord." |
|
John 10:17-18.
This is why He died before either of those who were crucified with Him, and
this is why the execution squad were so surprised that they stuck a spear in His side to check if He was really dead.
— Jesus was no victim of anyone's behaviour! — |
In the three hours between the darkness of that noon and His "τελέω" cry ('It has been completed!')
the Lord Jesus had turned the crime of His nation's leaders against Him into a sacrificial atonement for all before God.
Hallelujah to the Lamb of God! |
