This week I found out that there are ornamental strawberries. There are actually strawberry plants designed to merely look pretty and never produce berries. Now I knew about ornamental cherries and plums...who knew we had gone to the trouble of creating a strawberry plant that looks good but can't do its job.
I don't deny the blooms are lovely -- but the purpose of a strawberry (or a cherry or a plum for that matter) is to make fruit. Our purpose as Christians is to produce fruit. If we are Christ's we are never merely ornamental. It doesn't matter how nice we or sound -- or how much people like you -- our purpose is to live like Christ. Comments are closed.
