"God gives life to all things," 1 Timothy 6:13.
God. The Life Giver. All life throughout space. All life throughout the universe. Only the Life Maker gives life to any of it. Nothing in all creation creates life of itself. Once received, a living being perpetuates life to the offspring (maybe). Never gives it. And once taken away, the dust left behind never regenerates life. But God. God. The Life Giver. God raised dead Jesus back to life. God raises the dead and gives them life. And the Risen Christ gives life to whomever listens to him. Resurrection!
When we get together with a brother or sister today we share the promise of the life-giving Spirit. And together we give thanks for God's promised resurrection.
