Figs or Thistles
Matthew 7:16-20
You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?…


It has pleased God to make every tree and herb "after its kind." There are three reasons for this: —

1. That people may know what to expect.

2. That diligent work may be rewarded.

3. That great results may be caused to grow out of small beginnings.

4. We reap what we sow.

(E. R. Colder, D. D.)
