Expectation

“Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.” Martin Luther

From the depths of the earth you will bring me up again. Ps.71.20 ESV

Christians do not hope for the resurrection in the same way a person hopes it will rain. Our hope is more akin to the expectation of someone looking forward to spring. Nor is our hope just the survival of the spirit after death. No, in our flesh we shall see God, body and soul united in promised wholeness, raised in the glory of His eternal spring. 5/16/2009 Conversations Within ts
