Luke 6:45 The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.
Here Jesus is talking about contrasting good people and evil people and being able to judge them by what we see. Previously he was talking about trees and fruits: a good tree bears good fruit of course... and a bad tree produces bad fruit.
Knowing most of you as I do, there are not evil people reading this. So that's not really the concern that I want to raise for you this morning. Instead, think about Jesus' closing comment: "it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks." Do you let your mouth speak the abundance that's in your heart? Or are you shy about your faith, about your love, about your deepest commitments? Let the abundance of your heart out - then good fruit will spread throughout the world.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
