The Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in spring-time.

-Martin Luther, Watchwords for the Warfare of Life, p. 317.

• Job 14:7 “For there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease. 8 Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stump die in the soil, 9 yet at the scent of water it will bud and put out branches like a young plant.

• Psalm 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither.
