On September 13th, Tim Reardon began a series on the fruit of the spirit. He references Galatians 5:22-26 and 1 John 4:7-12.
Paul is upset within the letter. He is addressing groups of people who have adopted practices designed to create hierarchies, and to divide — to exert power over one another.
Tim's words are an entry point from which to think about the fruit of the Spirit, and the garden imagery Paul uses. This is the Spirit who hovered over the waters at creation, who rested upon Jesus, and who ushers in new creation through Christ. The fruit of the Spirit is the fruit of a new creation, breaking forth among the old. And fruit is that which springs forth.
