Words of Jesus: Saturday, Dec. 27, 2025

 Luke 6:43-45   ““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. For figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”

 RSV

In previous verses Jesus said do not judge, yet in today’s verses He tells us how to make right judgements.  The Greek words used in Monday’s verses are translated by some to mean more closely “condemn” rather than judge.  Jesus is instructing His hearers to evaluate others (and perhaps ourselves) by what they (we) do.  The next verses will pick up the theme of what we do.

May you feel God’s blessings today.
