Look at the photos of the rotting fruits and vegetables in order. Which would you rather see on your dining table, fruit from Day 1 or fruit from Day 40?

At this site, look at the picture of the fresh fruit on the tray. What does the glow on the fruit tell you about it? How is the fresh fruit different from the rotting fruit that you saw at the first Web site?

In Luke 6:43-44, Jesus uses fruit to teach about the actions of people. Use what you have learned from the pictures you viewed to answer the following questions:
What did you see on the fruit’s skin that showed you that it was rotting? What did the outside signs tell you about the heart of the fruit? Was it useful once it rotted? Why or why not?

What things do you see on fresh fruit that make you want to eat it? What do those things tell you about the heart of the fruit?

What do an individual’s actions tell others about what is in the heart of that person? How do unbecoming actions affect a Christian’s testimony? What actions can you do to show others a healthy walk with Christ?
