"THE ROOT AND THE FRUIT"

The root of plants and trees are to absorb from the soil all the necessary
nutrients to make the plant to grow up healthy and strong.
They are a great variety of plants, some produces fruits and others do not!
Human beings, produce good fruits and bad ones!
Are we like trees?
No! We are not trees or like trees! Believe it or not: We are Soil!
What???
Do you remember: “We are dust, and we are going back to the dust?”
When God created man, He made him from the ground, in our bodies
we have most if not all kind of minerals the earth contains!
In the Garden of Eden or Paradise if you please, they were, or still are,
a huge amount of trees that bear fruits.
God told Adam and Eve that they could eat from all of them, except
from the one at the center of the garden called:
The tree of good and evil, if they do, God said, they will surly die!
Then, the serpent showed up, and told Eve that they would not die, and
will be like “gods ”and they will be able to know about good and evil.
Eve was convinced by the serpent and ate from the fruit!
She gave it to Adam and he ate!
THE SEED WAS PLANTED! The seed became a plant, grew up, and
converted into a big tree, a tree that produces bad fruits!
We did not plant the seed, it was already there! But we fed it, and took
good care of it, while the good seed, remained a small plant that never
grew up! And in most cases, it withered and died!
We could sow in us good seeds! But, where could we get some?
The Bible is a “Farm” full of good seeds to be planted inside of us!
Good seeds that will produce sweet fruits to give to people!
They are only two kinds of fruits: Good and Bad!
Good fruits are LOVE AND CARE! Bad fruits are the ones that make
people: HATE, HURT AND KILL!
If we sow in us the good seeds and produce good fruits,
What do we need Christ for?
Good question! Christ is the Word of God!
When He Resurrected He went back to heaven but, He left with us,
HIS WORD! SO WE COULD LEARN ABOUT HIM!
JESUS CHRIST IS THE GOOD SOWER!
He is the only one that can soften the heart of rock we now have,
and prepare it to receive the good seeds, He will gladly sow in us!
He will send his Holy Spirit to live within us to teach us and make
us to understand what we are reading, and when we are ready,
we will be filled with good fruits!
The good fruits for people’s enjoyment!
Jesus told us that there is a good and bad soil as well.
The bad soil, is full of rocks that prevents the roots from adhering
to the floor.
Without food, the plant gets weak, and with the hot sun, dies!
But the good soil is the one that allows the plant to become a tree
and produce good fruits at thirty, sixty or one hundred percent.
We could be the good soil that grows a great percentage of trees
to convert the deserts into forests that produce good fruits to feed
the whole world if we let Jesus Christ to soften our hearts just by
asking Him to sow in us, the good seeds we obtained in His Word!

IN A LITTLE TOWN OF JUDEA A LITTLE BABY WAS BORN
TO BECOME THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD!
HIS NAME IS EMANUEL!
GOD WITH US!

PRAISE THE LORD!
