耶穌轉身對他們說：“耶路撒冷的女子，不要為我哭，當為自己和自己的兒女哭。 …… “這些事既行在有汁水的樹上，那枯乾的樹將來怎麼樣呢？”
路加福音 23:28,31
耶穌是綠樹。祂是以色列的分支，含有生命、盼望和為神所用。若我們繼續留在祂裡面，祂的生命就透過我們運行。當我們選擇自己的道路，我們就變得像枯樹一樣沒有價值，只能當柴燒。耶穌說……
沒有引向悔改的眼淚是毫無價值的。我不需要同情，因在我選擇的十字架裡面，有着復活的生命。如果你選擇我的道路，那裡會有一個十字架，也有豐盛的生命……
1114 JESUS is the GREEN TREE
JESUS is the GREEN TREE. He is the branch of Israel which contains life, hope, and usefulness for God. If we continue to stay in Him, we have His life coursing through us. When we choose our own way, we become worthless as a dry tree, good only for burning. JESUS says…
Tears which do not lead to repentance have no value. I do not need pity, for in My choice of the cross there is resurrection life. If you choose My way there will be a cross and also abundant life…
“But Jesus turning to them said, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children… for if they do these things in the green tree, what will happen in the dry?’”
Luke 23:28,31
