God is Pure Life
Joy is essentially ecstatic since it moves out of the place of death, which is rigid and fixed, and into the place of life, which is new and surprising…. There is no tinge of death in God. God is pure life. Therefore, living in the house of God is living in a state of constant ecstasy, in which we always experience the joy of being alive.
And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is God not of the dead but of the living.”
- Matthew 22: 31, 32
Reflection Question: In what ways do I resist the movement from old patterns or stagnation into the vitality God offers?
