By Their Fruits

I cannot help but wonder as I wander through this life, And try to find a purpose in this world of toil and strife. Why don’t I have a Moses or a Noah as my guide, Like those who came before me had amongst them to abide? Why can’t I find the likes of men like Peter, James and John? Does God not see I need them here to teach of right and wrong? I’ve heard some stand and preach that “God doth send these men no more!”, Yet common sense and scripture lends this theory no support. For when the Savior warned of false Christ’s he did simply say, “Believe it not for none but I shall come in latter day”. But when he spoke of prophets, other counsel he did give: “You’ll know them by their fruits…by what they teach and how they live”. Thus why would Christ have taught this if he had no plan in mind, To send down prophets for to dwell amongst us in our time? It seems that if no prophets were intended for our day, “Believe it not” would have been the more fitting thing to say. But such is not the case and so I’ll reason and conclude: Somewhere in our midst there must be…a prophet that is true.
