Fruits of Life

"Some people arrived and told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with that of their sacrifices. At this he said to them: ' Do you suppose these Galileans who suffered like that were greater sinners than any other Galileans? They were not, I tell you. No; but unless you repent you will perish as they did. Or those eighteen on whom the tower at Siloam fell and killed them? Do you suppose that they were more guilty than all the other people living in Jerusalem? They were not, I tell you. No; but unless you repent you will all perish as they did.' He told this parable: ' a man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it but found none. He said to the man who looked after the vineyard, "look here, for three years now I have been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and finding none. Cut it down: why should it be taking up the ground?" "Sir", the man replied " leave it one more year and give me time to dig around it and manure it: it may bear fruit next year; if not, then you can cut it down." Luke 13:1-9

Many people think that they deserve to live, and may condemn even their own brothers when they die. Death wasn't and will never be a judge's decision and a consequence of sins... As you may hear and see, and surely understand, Jesus is not talking about the body's death... because no one is better... the Galileans that died weren't greater sinners and the one who died under the Siloam tower weren't more guilty that the other people living in Jerusalem... death affects souls more that it does with bodies...
The fruits of our souls is what Jesus care for... and these fruits must be on our branches any time... there is no seasons for these fruits... everyday and every second is God's goals... eternal fruits...
We can't say that we don't care... that we will wake up tomorrow... that one day I will be a good person... one day I will talk about God... one day I will pray... Maybe a Sunday...
Why to be on hurry... Jesus is merciful... he loves us and we will be fine... Jesus will forgive... Yes, this is right... Jesus is humble and merciful... Jesus will not stop forgiving... but compare him to our parents... isn't he our father in heaven?! Our parents dig us around, they manure us, one year... and another one year... maybe two or three... but if we keep going in our wrong ways, there will be a decision... so always remember, Jesus God is lovely, but also poweful...
