he Lord works to prune from our lives those things that threaten to hold us back from living as His instruments. He cuts the leashes that we so willingly accept or even put on ourselves. The connection that He has remade, the one we were created to have, is connection to Jesus, the true vine, the source of all of our life and good things. What might Jesus be working to prune in your life today, to free you to blossom?
This 6-week series follows the Easter lectionary schedule, beginning with Easter Sunday, it covers 50 days and concludes with Pentecost Sunday. With the empty tomb, the resurrected Jesus is unleashed upon the world. First in His self, then until He comes again through His disciples powered by His Holy Spirit. As we have been following Jesus in His Earthly ministry, we now see with much more clarity our sending to the world, as His body here on Earth, the church. Just as Christ was sent, He has unleashed His church upon the world.
