[:en]After the cold and snowy winter, everyone awaits for the coming month of May where branches turn from gray to green. While pollen is a springtime nuisance that makes people sneeze, spring brings about transformation in the woods.
God has built into creation a cycle of rest and renewal. Rest is preparation for renewal while death is preparation for resurrection. Death is a temporary condition that prepares us for a new life, a new beginning, and for something even better. Jesus said: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die” (John 11:25). God is in the business of keeping things alive. He promises a glorious resurrection for those who believe in His Son.
How about you? Do you have the hope of promised resurrection?
