Breathing the Air of Resurrection
Doing some reading on 1 John 4 for Scripture study at the church in the morning. Came across this tidbit from Isaac the Syrian (bishop of Nineveh, who died about 700 A.D.)
Because God is love, the one who lives in love reaps the fruit of life from God. While still in this world, he even now breathes the air of the resurrection.
That last phrase sticks with me. "Breathing the air of the resurrection."
May we all breathe deeply today.

*oligopistos - Greek, noun, "one of little faith." This is where you eavesdrop on my scribblings about my life in the Kingdom, the Church, the world and the theological academy.
