Jesus shared deep truths with His disciples on the night before His crucifixion, known as the Upper Room Discourse. Jesus, their Lord and teacher, washed His disciples feet and gave them a new commandment: to love each other. He compared Himself to a vine and His disciples to branchesbranches that bear fruit because of the life in the Vine. Jesus prayed for His church to live in unity with Him and with each other; to know and demonstrate His love.
