“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 thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.(Luke 6:43-45 ESV)
Leaving no room to squirm away, Jesus turns from addressing our judgmental spirit and lack of forgiveness to looking at our speech. If we were to catch our words, even for a day, what would we be holding? What comes out at others? Does it resemble the character of God?
