The
Useless Vine

Dead!
“6 If you do
not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such
branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.”
John 15:6
Dear
Saints,
“Jerusalem like an
unfruitful vine.
- If a vine be
fruitful, it is valuable. But if not fruitful, it is worthless and useless, it
is cast into the fire. Thus man is capable of yielding a precious fruit, in
living to God; this is the sole end of his existence; and if he fails in this,
he is of no use but to be destroyed. What blindness then attaches to those who
live in the total neglect of God and of true religion! This similitude is
applied to Jerusalem. Let us beware of an unfruitful profession. Let us come to
Christ, and seek to abide in him, and to have his words abide in us.“ -
Matthew Henry Concise.
God’s Word came
to Ezekiel; concerning Jerusalem no longer producing fruit (see
Ezekiel 15) it can only be
used as firewood, once the ends are burnt and its middle is charred, it can’t be
used for anything. That nation as a
whole no longer glorifies God; “6 I, the Lord God,
promise that just as the wood of a grapevine is burned as firewood, 7 I will
punish the people of Jerusalem with fire. Some of them have escaped one
destruction, but soon they will be completely burned. And when that happens,
you, Ezekiel, will know that I am the Lord. 8 I will
make their country an empty wasteland, because they have not been loyal to me.
I, the Lord God, have spoken. ” Ezekiel 15:6-8 English
Standard Version (ESV). God’s Word makes the future clear (see
Matthew 3:10) for the person or nation who stops glorifying our Lord. God has given each believer gifts with which
to glorify God; “6 Having gifts that
differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in
proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in
his teaching; 8 the one
who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.”
Romans 12:6-8 ESV. Whatever gifts the Holy Spirit has
blessed you with (see
1 Corinthians 13:1-3) use that gift of God tempered with love for
God’s glory. It is not enough to Just
know who Jesus is; (see
James 2:18-20) each of us must
repent, ask Him in and lovingly produce good fruit.
