“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life.
Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live.”

Merriam-Webster’s online entry for “resurrection” notes that Latin forerunners include words that “could mean ‘to rise again” (as from a recumbent position) as well as ‘to spring up again after being cut’ (used of plants)…. The resurrection fern, an iconic fern of the southern United States often seen growing on the limbs of live oak trees…is so named due to the fact that in dry weather it curls up, turns brown, and appears dead, only to be ‘brought back to life’ when exposed to moisture.”
Have you ever witnessed resurrection? Where and how have you seen new life emerge out of death?
