Have you ever seen the way Jesus Christ always compared either us (Humans) or Heaven to certain earthly things? For example he compared the Kingdom of God as a Banquet for a King who called out everyone but some refused to come forward. He also compared us to the seeding-ground of a sower, each portion receiving seeds (the word) and dealing with it in ways such ground types would to seeds.

I like the one he compares the world to a worthless tree in a farmers orchard; supposed to bring forth fruit, yet uncapable. How cunning!!!

I bet the orchard attendant (Jesus Christ) knew that him being allowed to convert worthless to worthy did not make himself the decider of the fate. He said

Lk 13:9 And if it bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after that thou shalt cut it down.

I'm deeply cut through my heart when i see the christians failing to perform their duties and delivering their fruit as expected by God. Men have tended to want a little bit of Credit for any good work they perform in the name of Jesus.

For every little task you're assigned to by God, the Devil is nigh, trying to give you a bit of overtime work. In the end destroying the work initially assigned by God. Even the trees, when they produce their fruits, they wait for the owner to come

It's so easy - so "natural", to want credit for what we do - but can be so damaging to us AND our witness. Great reminder.
