Concord Grapes
Nature NuggetAnalogy★★★★Now we recognize that there’s all these branches that are living independently, but because they share the same source of life, there’s unity in spite of their diversity. And I think the critical point to understand is this: If you go to Concord grapes, they’re going to be Concord grapes. So there’s a diversity, there’s all these branches, but because there’s a single life giving the juice that flows into those branches, it is going to be whatever grape. And it’s amazing, you can have seedless and seeded and green and blue and everything in between, it’s beautiful.
