The fruit of the Spirit--love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control--has been shared with you this Christmas month through posts of songs, words and a brief sermon. It is only through abiding in Christ and Christ abiding in us that we produce fruit (John 15:4).
"Wise men still seek Him" are the words from a Christmas card sent to my household. "After ['wise men'] are born into God's family by the Word of God, [they] grow [by the Word also]. (From a gospel booklet sent to my household entitled--"What Does it Mean to Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?" by Mrs. Oliver B. Greene p. 18). On pages eighteen and nineteen of the same booklet it says, "Truly--"Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before". " We shall grow spiritually and produce the fruit of the Spirit each day we abide in Christ and He abides in us. Amen.
