Finest Fruit

Saturday. 2 Tim. 4:1-8.

We shall be like Jesus some glad day when we come up into his presence. We’ll be like him in purity and goodness and in being wholly, thoroughly right. This is the finest fruit, the crown of the fruitage. It’s the final fruitage in us, of his blood shed, of our choice of him persisted in, and of the gracious work within us of his Spirit. And each passing day may help ripen to the full that wondrous fruit.
