Does it seem these days that people don’t ask good questions? Questions come with barbs all over them, or are asked in such a way that the answer is already obvious. God coming into the world raises some big questions about how we live in the wake of his coming. But we need to ask the right questions. This series will explore the questions asked of Paul by the Christians in Corinth. We’ll get at the questions behind their questions, to the good news for all of us – even here at the dawn of the 21st century. Jesus has come into the world, and nothing has been the same since.
How does Jesus’ coming change our world today?
JR. Forasteros - April 8, 2012
Love
We once again have access to the Tree of Life, whose fruit are for the healing of the nations. So how are we who follow Jesus, who participate in his death and resurrection fruitful? In Galatians 5, Paul lists several fruit of the Spirit. These qualities characterize all those who live a life marked by Resurrection. And today, most appropriately, we celebrate the first fruit: Love. Love is the very core of who God is. As Trinity, God loves "extravagantly" as one biblical author puts it. What are the Cross and Empty Tomb if not expressions of how far God's love goes? And the best news is that we too can participate in this unconditional, extravagant love of God.
