I love grapes. Not only are they delicious but they are beautiful as they grow. The vine they grow on is so green, full of leaves and just keeps growing! I also enjoy the fact that raisins are dried up grapes! It’s a great analogy for this metaphor. When we stay close to Jesus, The Vine, we are juicy like a grape with love but if we don’t we can dry up like a raisin!
Have fun with these lessons, and eat all the grapes!!
