The Mirror and the Orchard
(Luke 6:39-45, Mat 23:13-24, Jer 23:16-22, 1 Sam 2:2-17, 22)
In today’s passage, Jesus presents two powerful images—a mirror and an orchard. One reflects what’s hidden within; the other reveals what’s growing out. Together, they show us where true authenticity resides: in honest self-awareness and in the visible actions that flow from the heart.
