Resurrecting God –
What we sow does not come to life unless it dies.
We sow the perishable. You raise it to the imperishable.
We sow in dishonor. You raise it in glory.
We sow in weakness. You raise it in power.
We bear the image of both the creature of dust and the creature of heaven – the first Adam and the second Adam – a living being and a life-giving spirit.
Turn our bare seeds that we sow into life-giving spirits. Resurrect each of our bare seeds into their own bodies as You have chosen.
Where there is death, breathe life.
Amen.
