Most experienced Christians are familiar with the Fruit of the Spirit listed in the apostle Paul's Letter to the Galatians where we read of qualities like love, peace, and patience. These are considered both gracious marks of true Christian character and ideals to aim for. But what do they look like when lived to the fullest? - Christ's example. Jonathan Cruse answers this question by studying the fullness of the Fruit of the Spirit in the life of Christ. - Our shortcomings. In a warm and engaging style, Jonathan examines these godly attributes in the Lord's example and compares them with our own faltering efforts at holiness. - Our hope. Despite our shortcomings, the comparison is presented in a way that brings hope, not frustration. We learn that only the power of God himself can truly conform us to Christ. The work is his, not ours -- and this is good news for all those who yearn for greater sanctification.
