The pattern of death and rebirth is found everywhere we look— in nature, literature, and of course, religion. This week, we explore why that might be and how it relates to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We will learn that the pattern we find in nature exists because it first existed in God and was fulfilled in the Passion of Jesus Christ. But, this pattern is also something that teaches us to lay down our lives as willing and living sacrifices that they might blossom in resurrection into what God had always intended for them to become.
