Thorns, No 2.

Resurrection illustrated in nature: thorn bushes/dry branches/hacked down trees - seemed dead but at closer inspection life/growth commenced again at the root level. John 11:: 25 - 26 " JESUS said to her, " I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in ME, even though they die will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die." Ephesians 2: 4 - 5 "But because of HIS great love for us, GOD who is rich in mercy, made us alive with CHRIST even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved."
