Lent Meditations
40 Days in the Vineyard
Day 5: I am the true vine
Jesus’ DNA, which was truly God from before the beginning and is now also truly human, is the true root stock of the new creation. With this one statement, Jesus opened a new chapter in history.
Day 38: This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
Just like a new vine that is propagated from an old vine, Jesus becomes the true vine with a new root system, yet still connected to the original. The old covenant is not abolished but fulfilled with the new covenant Jesus brings.
