Fruit … glorious fruit. It’s mentioned several times and in various contexts in the New Testament. We’re told we’ll know people by their “fruit.” We’re told that we should tend the “fruits of the Spirit.” But that supposes we have some idea of what “fruit” is. What does it look like in the life of a Jesus follower? What would the term “bear fruit” look like? How do we, as followers of Jesus, “bear fruit” in our ordinary lives?
That’s the theme of this month … fruit or bearing fruit. In whatever ways those terms hit you, let us know. As is usual, post your blog title and link in the comments section here and I’ll make the link list for inclusion at the bottom of your post. Get those links in here by Tuesday, April 22 and I’ll post the link list on Wednesday, April 23.
Oops. I thought it was today instead of next week. Oh well. My post is up a week early.
