Résumé:The author reflects on Jesus Christ as true vine in the fourth Gospel of John in observance of Easter. He notes that the vine represents the people of Israel, the gardener represents God, Christ is the vine and the people are the branches. He believes that only God can make the judgment on which branches that bear no fruit will be cut off. He stresses that Christians can heed the commands of Christ and dwell on his love through the love for neighbours and participation in the life of God.
