Summary
If it looks like a duck, if it sounds like a duck, if it walks like a duck, it's probably a duck, meaning that if looking at the characteristics of something, we can probably know what it is. It's laughable when we consider when we consider these false prophecies and these false claims, it's laughable until we really think about the millions of millions of dollars millions of hours that the sheep the sheep have poured in and invested in these false prophets, these false prophets, they've given millions of dollars millions of hours over the years to Shasters. We may be some of those sheep looking to the ravenous wolves wanting answers, wanting to restore the relationship to secure our place in the story of salvation but beware, beware of these false prophets, with words that tickle the ear and with work that look so good, so nice, and with this warning of the false prophets this warning of beingware of the ravenous wolves that lurk within Jesus gets to his question. Our fruit then, the works that we produce, the fruit of the spirit, it's a byproduct of being part of the healthy vine of being part of the healthy tree and this brings us right back to the warning that Jesus began with the warning of the wolf in sheep's clothing, the warning of the false prophet of the bad tree. You will know the bad tree, by its fruit, because you have heard, you have tasted the real thing, the real word, God's truth, and you know it is good. Taste, taste the sweet fruit of redemption, and know it's for you, because you have the real fruit, you have the only truth in your hands, the truth of God's word, which produces in you and I, the real fruit of his spirit, of love, and grace, and mercy.
