Bible verses for children
Stay connected like a branch.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

In simple words
What does this verse mean?

Make time for learning and practising Jesus’ words as you would care for growing plants.
