22.05.23 “Fruit?” (Matt. 7:15-23)

 

Are you one of those people who likes growing your own vegetables in your own garden, or perhaps going into the orchards and picking your favorite fruits when harvest season comes? Are you a person who can identify when the vegetable or fruit has matured to the point it is ready for picking and can you even distinguish the best ones as you evaluate which ones to pick? These days we are with Matthew, one of Jesus' disciples, who recorded for us the first big message Jesus spoke to a crowd of people. In this message Jesus covered LOTS of topics and so today let's join the crowd and focus on these words Jesus spoke that day: "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit."
