The Vine And The Branches Poem by Bob Gotti
The Vine And The Branches
Friend, Jesus Christ is the Vine, Christians are but the branches.
And The Lord is indeed Divine, and through all our circumstances.
The Lord Jesus is over all time, and with Him there are no chances.
And as my Savior, He is mine, and it is in Christ I take my stances.
Sure and faithful is Jesus Christ, for The Lord is true and He is just.
Jesus is the very Savior of my life, and in The Lord I place my trust,
As I go through pain and strife, abiding is not an option, it’s a must.
My very being I owe to Christ, for my frame my friend, it is but dust.
When I asked Jesus into my life, He entered my heart to live inside.
To the Living Vine of Jesus Christ, as a branch, in Him I must abide.
And as I go through pain and strife, by Jesus Christ, I’m not denied.
For in my trial I know that Christ, is the fortress in whom I can hide.
It is through the Vine of Jesus Christ, I receive strength and power.
It is there to tap throughout my life, in every day and in every hour.
Friend, when I walk into strife, a peace pours on me like a shower.
And as I hold fast to Jesus Christ, I have no need to fear or cower.
So come from any circumstance, to Christ the Vine and be a branch.
And even though we are but dust, in Him we can have Eternal Trust.
If in your heart, Christ is not denied, with Him you will eternally abide.
Come make a choice this very hour, and be filled with eternal power.

Hey Bob, I was thinking about which character Jesus would be if he were on Gilligan’s Island. I know what you’re going to say – he would be the Professor, right? Well, that’s the obvious choice and that’s what I thought at first, but now I’m not so sure. I actually think he would be Maryann, who is so innocent and friendly to everyone. She is down-to-earth, earnest and helpful and easily the most likeable one on the island. I was also thinking Jesus could be Gilligan. I know, I know, you’re shaking your head. But hear me out. Gilligan tries to do the right thing but is always getting ostracized by everyone else. His heart is in the right place but he doesn’t get acknowledged for that, just like Jesus. The main drawback to that theory is that I just can’t picture Jesus sleeping in a hammock.
