How Death Can Lead to Life
“And now brothers, I will ask you a terrible question, and God knows I ask it also of myself. Is the truth beyond all truths, beyond the stars, just this: that to live without him is the real death, that to die with him the only life?” ~Frederick Buechner
“I want to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, to be conformed to His death, in order that I might attain to the resurrection from the dead.” ~Philippians 3:10-11
In answer to Buechner, absolutely yes! Assuming that sisters are included. 🙏🇨🇦
I think that’s a safe assumption, Gail. ;>)
Death is a codified doorway to supra life.
In the silence between heartbeats, the stars are merely dust on the threshold; true breath is found only in the shadow he casts, for to exist outside his light is to be a ghost haunting one’s own skin.
I love this phrase, Gemerald: “The stars are merely dust on the threshold.” Are the words yours?
It is from my chest, Mitch. Unveil to unveil more in the “dark” storied chest of my sites.
quoted verse 11 i know you uploaded verse 13 on another blog
One of the beautiful ironies of the Scriptures – whoevet saves his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Jesus will save it.
Yes, and a perfect compliment to the above quotes, Annie.
Amen Mitch. Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Julian
And blessings to you, my friend.
That is exactly true, in my view.
Thank you for reminding me of Buechner … it has been so long. I need to re-read a book of his.
Is wonderful post !!🌈🤍🌟
🧡
Wow, so powerful
And Mitch you know the answer to your quotes, as I do. However, I will quote these scriptures as reminders we so often need. “This means everlasting life, they taking in knowledge….”-John 17:3
“For this is the will of my Father…I will resurrect him on the last day.” -John 6:40
Finally, Resurrection to our second death. – Revelations 21:7-8

Mitch, thank you for your posts. I was one day pondering on God’s amazing ability to make life from death, then wrote this unfinished lyric.
A tree takes in the soil,
With soil nourish the tree,
But only death of higher seed,
Can it become a tree.
