This week Jesus continues to teach about what that transformed life will look like and how we will be different. He calls it bearing “good fruit.” Bearing fruit is natural and effortless but tending to the fruit trees and creating the right environment is intentional. And the growth that happens on a fruit tree is carefully managed and directed - that means pruning! Lastly, the fruit is sampled - the outcome of our actions is examined to see if is useful - if it is edible. Let’s look at the renewed life as the process of cultivation, growth and bearing fruit.
