Resurrection Words (Bright Year: Day 51)

Resurrection words live. They are the words of the new kingdom. Words of the old kingdom, the kingdom of self, the kingdom of this world? For all their glitter, they mean death.

”On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and delivered an oration to them. And the people were shouting, ‘The voice of a god, and not of a man!’ Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last. But the word of God increased and multiplied” (Acts 12:21-24 ESV).
