Jesus Brings New Life

A curious thing happened with Esther Gingerich’s Easter breakfast decorations. If you remember on Easter morning we were greeted with multiple containers on every table of green grass, bulbs sprouting, and fresh reminders that Easter brings new life. She invited us to take home whatever arrangements we wanted. I took home one of the larger arrangements with an empty tomb, the stone rolled away and 3 crosses in the background. Imagine my amazement when the center cross budded out. I shared my amazement with Esther and she responded that her center cross had also sprouted new life with a leaf. The amazement was not so much that the twigs sprouted new leaves…but that ONLY the center cross showed any sign of new life. Jesus is truly the resurrection and the life. ~Rosie Miller
