DAY 121 - Good Tree? Where Is Your Fruit?

Golden Verse 金句

“For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, for each tree is known by its own fruit." 

                                                    Luke 6: 43-44

"因 為 ， 沒 有 好 樹 結 壞 果 子 ， 也 沒 有 壞 樹 結 好 果 子 。

 凡 樹 木 看 果 子 ， 就 可 以 認 出 他 來 。"

                                            

                                                    路加福音 6:43-44

     What I got from Jesus is: Good tree? Where is your fruit?

     

     This passage seems the whole summary of the 40 days "Break.Build" I just completed: http://www.breakbuild.blogspot.co.uk/

     Every Christian wants to be a good tree, a good and faithful disciple of Jesus. But, where is your fruit?

     What I got today from Jesus are three things:

1. Repentance is the starting point if we can not produce fruit

2. Living out the Sermon on the Mount by "New Being, New Doing, New Relationship" is to prove that you become a good tree.

3. Being able to help two people to experience point 1 and 2 is to prove that you can bear fruit as a good tree. And that is to become a Mentor123.

    

    You want to be a good tree, right?

    Then, you need to start being a Mentor123 now! 

Dear Lord Jesus,

Lead us to be willing to constantly mentor two to three people following your good example to mentor Peter, James and John so that we can be good trees bearing much fruit.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
