It is childbirth, But it is also resurrection. A body broken. Breath fractured. A long night.... A sunrise. Breath returned. New life, And a love that won’t let go. Excerpt from Light by Rev. Sarah Are Image: The Promise by Lisle Gwynn Garrity | @sanctifiedart See more

Consider those first few days after you've lost someone and the liminality between their death and funeral. There’s no closure yet, and mornings are reminders that the nightmare is real. It’s hard to imagine how you’ll face the day. Again and again, the sun rises on a new day, often without embrace or acknowledgment. The same is true of resurrection. Whether or not we discern what’s happening, God is literally and figuratively turning the world around! Commentary by Re...v. T.

After this, when Jesus knew that all was now finished, he said (in order to fulfill the scripture), I am thirsty. When Jesus had received the wine, he said, It is finished. Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. -John 19:28,30
