Flower springing up after a forest fire
ALL must appear lost. All must appear as if evil has won. The grain of wheat must fall into the ground and die…. and only then does it bear fruit. So it was with Jesus… Calvary… the Tomb… it was as though darkness had crushed the light.
But then Light burst forth from the abyss, and in a moment, darkness was vanquished.
