In spring
the butterfly emerges transformed from the tomb of his cocoon.
The magnificent lily rises up from a lowly bulb. These are miracles
of the everyday sort.
In the
book of John we are told the story of a miracle: Lazarus,
a man whom Jesus raises from the dead. It is a miracle because
it is not a daily occurrence. It is outside our realm of experience.
Every
day we are surrounded by a myriad of miracles which we do
not recognize, because they are "commonplace." But
if we look at the world anew, we may see Signs everywhere
in the ways of His earthly Creation. The specific events -
the emergence of the butterfly, or the lily in the spring,
are simply echoes of the larger plan God has for mankind -
Resurrection, and life everlasting.
