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.
