Chapter Context

The purpose of this lesson is to draw our attention to the source of life through the parable of the vine and the branches. Make the lesson attractive enough for the children to realize that if they stick to Jesus, they can produce good results, and if they distance themselves from Jesus, they will lose the divine life.
