WE ARE NEW BREEDS

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him - Ps 34:8

If a researcher creates a new breed of fruit bearing crops, the success of his/her work depends on the fruit. In the same way, we are God's masterpiece, his chosen breed, we are recreated to bear fruit the world will taste and glorify our maker.

The only way the world will know the excellence of our Maker is through our fruits. We go through diverse trials in life just to prove the quality of work our creator did, that's why it is called trials. So, let's not fret at trials, instead trust our maker, knowing that He doesn't make bad choices.

We have to know that trials don't last because the endpoints are results. So let's stand strong in the Lord because our strength is from him. Remember, we are just the branches, the Lord is the vine. We draw our sap from the Lord not from us, branches don't have roots, they entirely depend on the vine for support.

The ability of the branch to bear good fruits, withstand disease and so on depends on the stem. The branch is just there to display the excellent work of the gardener. That's why the Lord said that the father's glory is shown on how much fruit we bear (Jn 15:8)

Remember the words of the Lord :

“A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad - Matt 12:33 We have the same sap as the Vine, do you think that we cannot bear good fruits ?

That is why St Peter said that we are called to display the excellence of God (1 Pet 2:9) So, from our opening text, the world should be able to taste the fruits we bear and glorify God and we are confident that we shall bear good fruits only if we stay attached to this great vine.

We pray for the grace to stay United with Jesus so as to bear good fruits for our God in Jesus name Amen!

Thank You Jesus!
