Good Soil
In the beginning, we were presented with two trees. One brought Death and one brought Life. We chose Death and have been eating the fruit of that Tree - pride and all the other Deadly Sins. But in Jesus' Death and Resurrection, we have been freed from our Sin. Through the power of the Spirit, we can again eat from the Tree of Life! But how do we live fruitful, Spirit-empowered lives? Is it just a matter of trying harder? No. The fruit is a gift of the Spirit. Our responsibility is to cultivate the soil the Fruit of the Spirit grows in - the soil of our lives. As Jesus teaches us in Mark 4, cultivating a life that is ready to grow spiritual fruit is something we have to choose to do. It's about intentionally ordering our lives. And when we do, Jesus promises that the harvest will be miraculous!
