Dear Friends in Christ –
The Fantasticks is a musical allegory about the romance of a young couple, Matt and Luisa. Their relationship is complicated by their meddling fathers. The fathers come together to commiserate when their plans don’t work out; they sing "Plant a Radish." The lyrics go, "Plant a radish, Get a radish. Never any doubt. That’s why I love vegetables – you know what you’re about!"
Paul says the same – you reap what you sow. The fathers in the musical continue, "...but with children, it’s bewilderin’." The Apostle Paul’s statement in our text ain’t bewilderin’ – it’s absolutely clear: Good news if you sow the gifts of the Spirit. Remember love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity and faithfulness?
Paul encourages the people and us. He reminds them a life shared reflecting these gifts has a consequence – a harvest of a life lived in the Spirit of the living God. You reap what you sow, if you don’t quit.
Folks, we don’t quit! Our task and our privilege is to live in the Spirit of the living God – together. It’s what we get to do if we’re willing.
Let’s gather on site or online in anticipation –
