The Tree and its Fruits

Matthew 7:16; Luke 6:43-49

Matt 7:16 - By their fruits, you will recognize them. Do you people pick grapes from thorn-bushes, or figs from thistles?

Luke 6:43-49

V:43 - no good tree bears bad fruit nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

Christ = good tree

V44: Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.

Fig= lying cross

thorn= grieve

V45: " why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord' and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, i whill show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is lie a man who built a house on the ground without foundation.

Christ obeyed God the Father as He builds a house ( ב(י)ת - daughter, town, village בת with God at the center י) - He reconciles daughter (those who don't understand) with God at the center- by laying down his life by trusting that He is God incarnate. No one can separate God from man for Christ has laid his life.
