"...I am telling you the truth: the time is coming - the time has already come - when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will come to life. Just as the Father is himself the source of life, in the same way he has made his Son to be the source of life. And he has given the Son the right to judge, because he is the Son of Man. Do not be surprised at this; the time is coming when all the dead will hear his voice and come out of their graves: those who have done good will rise and live, and those who have done evil will rise and be condemned."

John 5:25-29

The next time you see a butterfly, remember the change that Christ made in you when you put your faith in Him - then look forward with joy to the day of resurrection when your own transformation will be complete.

Christ's resurrection is the guarantee of our own.
