Taking the Route
to the Root
of Life
and
Putting Down Roots
(Even in Winter)
Brings Us to the Light of the World,
Christ.
2 Kings 19:30
The surviving remnant of the house of Judah shall again take root downwards, and bear fruit upwards.
Romans 11:16
If the part of the dough offered as first fruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; and if the root is holy, then the branches also are holy.
Words of Grace For Today
Taking root.
That’s the event that connects us to whom God created us to be.
Taking root.
That’s the event that revives us, renews us.
Taking root.
That’s the event that requires forgiveness,
offered to those who would destroy us, and
accepted for all the sin that we ourselves have actually done.
Taking root.
That’s the event in which God shows us again that we are holy because we are connected to all that is holy in God’s good creation.
Taking root.
That’s the event that leads to us bearing fruit, good fruit.
