The Vine (John 15)

IN GENESIS

GOD GAVE MAN DOMINION

THAT IS OWNERSHIP

OVER THE EARTH

WE ALL KNOW THE SAD STORY

OF OUR DOMINION SHIP

OUR OWNERSHIP

THE BAD MANAGEMENT

CAUSED GOD TO LEAP FROM HEAVEN

TO DIE AND REDEEM US

WE WOULD THINK

THAT AFTER THAT

HE WOULD SAY

AFTER PAYING

SUCH A PRICE

I TAKE BACK

MY DOMINION SHIP

I TAKE BACK

MY OWNERSHIP

FROM NOW ON

YOU WILL BE MY SLAVES

IF HE DID THAT

IT WOULD BE UNDERSTANDABLE

IT'S WHAT WE WOULD DO

IF WE WERE GOD

BUT GOD SAYS

I DO NOT CALL YOU SERVANTS

BUT FRIENDS

AND THE ONLY CHAINS

I GIVE YOU

IS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER

FOR YOU ARE ALL LINKED

ROOTS

STEMS

LEAVES

AND FRUIT

YET ONE VINE

WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN DOMINION

OVER THE WORLD

TO MAKE IT BETTER

THAN IT IS

WE ARE CALLED CHRISTIANS

FOLLOWING JESUS' WORDS

AND EXAMPLE

WE WOULD BE BETTER NAMED

LOVERS

MAY IT BE SO

AMEN
