The Eternal Spring

The yearly resurrection of the earth in spring guarantees a grand resurrection for humanity.

Is it at all possible that the Maker of this universe would bring dead trees and plants to life in the season of spring, displaying countless samples of resurrection, and yet not resurrect human beings, the most important guests of the universe, after they die? You see with your own eyes that trees which died and dried up in winter are adorned with green leaves and flowers in spring. This is a proof of God's power. That power which creates the wing of a fly undoubtedly created the sun. Creating a spring is as easy for Him as creating a flower. Thus, resurrection and the Hereafter are as certain and undoubted as this spring.
