The story summary and questions were written in a way that makes it possible to use a New Testament reference in place of the Urantia reference. A selected chapter from a 1932 book, Treasure-House of the Living Religions, supports a spiritual theme that is found within the story. Children will use a one page handout that includes a coloring picture.
Paper 180:2
The Urantia Book
Abide in me, and I in you
On Thursday night, near the end of the Last Supper, Jesus said many important things to his disciples. One thing he said was, “I am the vine, you are the branches.” He also told them that the Father lovingly cares for the vine, and prunes the branches so they bear much fruit. Jesus tried to help them understand the meaning of this. He said, “Abide in me, and I in you.” He went on to say, “As the Father loved me, I also have loved you; abide in my love.”
