day no. 15,469: words and dirt

"And we came from dust and we go back to the dust, and in between those two moments we are privileged to bear the image of Almighty God. And when God speaks to the dust of the ground again, and we all rise from the dead, we will then bear the image perfectly." - Douglas Wilson, Don Quist, RIP

The story of our people begins and ends with words and dirt.

In the beginning, God spoke. He spoke to the dirt in His hands and it became a living man. Because of sin, all men return to the ground and the dust from which they came. In the end, God will again speak to the dirt and those who lived and died by faith will again be made to live.

The story of our people begins and ends with the breath of God. We are alive because He spoke, we will live again because He will speak again.
