Jesus said to his disciples: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them.” When I read these words of Jesus, I often think about those in positions of authority who use their power to gain more and more for themselves. Unfortunately, even in our church we have been sorely tempted. We also have those falls prophets who will tell you how to live, but their own lives are filled with sin and hypocrisy. But today, when I was reflecting on the words of Jesus, I realized that Jesus wants me to do a good examination of conscience and look at the fruits that I produce in my own life. Do I bear good fruit? Am I honest with God and with myself? Am I truly a disciple of Jesus, or am I one of those false prophets Jesus is warning us about? These are some important questions which we all need to ask ourselves.
