Jesus' Followers Are Different: Part 4
Jesus' followers can be recognized by the way they live. Jesus teaches his disciples this by an illustration of trees and fruit (v. 44). Fruit is the product of a particular kind of tree. Pears are not produced by briars or thornbushes, but from pear trees. Our hearts are like trees and what we say or do is the fruit. Our actions and words show what kind of hearts we have. Jesus goes on to say that his disciples do what He does. You can tell a disciple by his or her actions, by the fruit of their lives.
