For the month of May 2022, we will examine descriptions of God from the Bible that are not often emphasized in worship. Our goal is that by examining these traits of God we will increase our understanding of Him and thereby enhance our worship. The five descriptions we will look at are God as Worker, God as Mother, God as Husband, God as Gardener, and God as Watchman.
Today we examine the portrayal of God as Gardener. John 15:1-4 Jesus declares “I am the true Vine and My Father is The Gardener…“. To describe what the Kingdom of God is like, He paints a scenario that most of us would be familiar with. In this metaphor, we see that there are three roles being portrayed, God as Gardener, Jesus as the Vine, and the believers as the branches. Let us examine these roles.
