The bitternut tree does not bear fruit every year. It only bears fruit every
three years and sometimes only every five years. The beech tree bears fruit
every eight years. The white oak can go ten years without bearing fruit. But
the champion in delay is the bamboo which bears fruit only every 120 years!
Most Christians don’t live to be 120, but if they did, some would still bear no
fruit for the Lord Jesus.
