In the Sermon on the Mount, what natural illustration did Jesus use when saying, "Apart from me you can do nothing"?

Correct Answer

C) The Vine and the Branches

Jesus used the powerful image of a vine and its branches to illustrate the vital connection Christians have with Him. Just as branches can only bear fruit if connected to the vine, we can only achieve true spiritual growth and accomplish God's purposes by abiding in Christ. This imagery vividly underscores the message of Philippians 4:13, emphasizing that our strength comes solely from our dependence on Him.
