The Sower - James Tissot
Matthew 13:23 King James Version (KJV)
23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Although this is an explanation of the parable of the soils, which deals with the condition of the human heart, one may ponder to what Jesus was alluding when he talks about fruit.
To an evangelical it probably means souls saved. To another Christian camp it may mean social good deeds or turning people toward eternal values. This is just something to think about.
