Life in the vine

The Old Testament frequently uses the vineyard or vine as a symbol for Israel, God's covenant people, especially in two 'vineyard songs' in Isaiah 5:1_7 and 27:2_6. Israel's failure to bear fruit resulted in God's divine judgment. Jesus, in contrast, is the true vine and true Israel of God who would birth God's people.
