Abiding in the True Vine

Apr 28, 2024 • The Rt. Rev. Chip Stokes

Preaching at the Patronal Feast of St. Mark, with confirmations, the visiting bishop turns to the seventh I Am saying of John's Gospel: "I am the true vine." Abiding in Christ bears fruit in obedience to his chief command, to love, and that love is an act of the will and hard work rather than a passing feeling. The baptismal promises, renewed by the whole congregation, are how we stay grafted to the vine.
