There is no resurrection without first a death Life came into Adam with the release of God’s own breath We can’t see our spirit but we know that it is there We can’t see our God but we know He is everywhere Where does the wind come from and where does the wind go? What is the meaning of life? Tell me if you know Jesus is our life, unyielding truth, and the only way He is the essence of God’s love to us, put on full display When we search God’s Word great mysteries are revealed Since time began much truth has been concealed We are being formed into the image of God’s Son It is through dying to self that new life is begun Debbie Furey March 4, 2023 John 3:5-8 – “Jesus answered, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.’” John 12:23-28 – “Jesus replied, ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.’” Romans 8:28-30 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.” John 3 Romans 8:28-39
