[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he tree is known by its fruit said Christ. If a tree bears the fruit of another species of tree, it is against nature. Jesus Christ said that he is the vine and his believers are the branches. The branches have to bear the fruit of the vine. Human beings have weaknesses and shortcomings but any thing which is the deliberate choice and intentionally done contrary to the teachings of Christ is not the fruit of the vine. Christ taught, “In every thing, do to others what you would have them do to you.” (Mat.7 : 12)The way of Christ is the only true way of peace. Peace is abundant for the people who are the branches of the vine. The world is overwhelmed by fears and insecurity. Why? Because the world denies Christ. Through Christ the Holy Spirit is received and the outcome of it is abundant peace and joy, but the world is ignorant of it. Many professed Christians also do not know it. So they bear the fruit of another species of tree and not of the vine.
There is no problem in the world which cannot be resolved in the way of Christ. Land dispute and any other problem can be settled in the way of Christ without quarreling and swearing and aftermath of the settlement, the dispute is forgotten and peaceful relation exists which is very beautiful. I have practiced it and experienced it.
In every thing , do to others what you would have them do to you.” Do you practice it? In any profession and in any thing, nothing is outside of the parameter of the commandment of Christ. The greatest loss is displeasing God and the greatest gain is pleasing God. Under whatever circumstances, the teachings of Christ is to be put into practice.
The way of Christ alone is beautiful, peaceful and triumphant and nothing is impossible to be done and no problem is impossible to be resolved in the way of Christ.
