Fruit as a Consequence. . .
Every time you hear the word ‘fruit’ you can substitute the word ‘consequence’.
As a young child, I thought nothing of consequences. I did not understand that the likely potential consequence of playing with fire, was a greatly increased risk of being burned. I saw my parents not allowing me to ride my bicycle along busy streets, in terms only of the restriction on my freedom, not in avoiding a risk of being hit by a car. . .
Later as an early teen. . . against the warnings of parents and all good sense, I began to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, use illegal drugs, and engage in sex outside of marriage. . .ignoring again and again consequence. . .
Much of the wisdom of the elderly is rooted in intimate familiarity with the consequences of their life’s choices. Seniors possess long years of living with consequences. . .
Consequences are the effects on the water after a stone is thrown. . .
You have control. . .
You can choose when and where to throw a rock into a pond, but the moment it leaves your finger tips, you have no control over where it strikes or the ripples which spread in all directions over its surface. . .
Consequence is linkage. . .
We want to think, especially when we do wrong, that there is strict isolation between the various compartments of our life, when in reality our life is as a pond and for good or for evil, every rock thrown spreads ripples which have an effect upon the entire pond. . .
Jesus said that we are to know a tree by its fruit. . .
A tree would be known by its consequences. . . the soil it grew in, whether it was in a sunny or shaded spot, did it receive sufficient fertilization and water, was it pruned, what is its ancestry, who are and how close is it to its neighbors, what was the weather in the growing season, what is its age. . . and on and on. All these components go into the production of its fruit. . .
Here is a list of all the verses of the Bible which contain the word ‘fruit’:

As a young child, I thought nothing of consequences. I did not understand that the likely potential consequence of playing with fire, was a greatly increased risk of being burned. I saw my parents not allowing me to ride my bicycle along busy streets, in terms only of the restriction on my freedom, not in avoiding a risk of being hit by a car. . .

Much of the wisdom of the elderly is rooted in intimate familiarity with the consequences of their life’s choices. Seniors possess long years of living with consequences. . .
Consequences are the effects on the water after a stone is thrown. . .
You have control. . .
You can choose when and where to throw a rock into a pond, but the moment it leaves your finger tips, you have no control over where it strikes or the ripples which spread in all directions over its surface. . .
Consequence is linkage. . .
We want to think, especially when we do wrong, that there is strict isolation between the various compartments of our life, when in reality our life is as a pond and for good or for evil, every rock thrown spreads ripples which have an effect upon the entire pond. . .
Jesus said that we are to know a tree by its fruit. . .

All these components go into the production of its fruit. . .
