It’s Not About Our Religion (Advent 11)

“…Do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our ancestor.” - from Matthew 3:9

One of the great mistakes or fallacies we can fall into is to presume that our religions make us superior to others and/or pleasing to God.

The quality of the tree is not determined by the name of the orchard it’s planted in. The quality of the tree is determined by the fruit the it produces.

A true rooted and grounded in love is a a healthy tree capable of producing good fruit. Branches connected to the vine of God’s love will bear good fruit.

A tree that is not rooted and grounded will not produce good fruit. Branches disconnected from the vine will eventually wither away.

It’s not about the religion we claim. It’s about the fruit we yield. Good fruit is only produced in and through love.
