Mathew.
7: 15-20
Dear
friends,
Today we are going
to meditate on the Bible passage according to St. Mathew chapter 7 verses
15-20. In this passage Jesus mainly says; “Every good tree bears good fruit,
but the bad tree bears bad fruits. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit. Not can a
bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down
and thrown into the fire. Thus you will know them by their fruits.”
Dear friends, our
lives are like the trees planted by God. God expects only good fruits from us.
Others will know us by the fruits which we produce. The fruits mean our daily
activities. If we are good trees of God, we will produce only good qualities.
These good qualities include our good behavior, good character, our positive
attitude towards everything. If we are good fruits, we will grow and we will
help others to grow. If we are bad trees, we will produce only bad things.
These bad things include jealousy, arrogance, pride etc. If we are having these
qualities, we will never grow and we will never allow others to grow. Our God
called us to this special vocation. He called us to become the good trees which
produce good fruits. All the trees which do not produce good fruits will be cut
down and thrown into the fire. So, as the trees of Jesus if we are not
producing good fruits, we will thrown out from this vocation.
Therefore dear friends, let us think ourselves, our God called us to be
good trees which produce good fruits for him. Am I a good tree or bad tree? Do
I produce good fruits or bad fruits? Am I honest to my vocation? So let us
meditate on this point. And pray to God to give us the grace to become good
trees. Let us pray to God to help us to be honest in our vocation, and help us
bear good fruits of love, faith and hope.
THANK YOU…
BRO.
