S. M. Hutchins has an insightful post at Mere Comments, the blog of Touchstone Magazine on contemplating true life in the face of death. He ponders whether passing from life in the womb to life in the world is not unlike our passing from life in the world to life in heaven. He wonders whether our Lord’s words about little children are limited only to their childlike faith or whether they have deeper meaning. He considers whether our Lord’s discourse with Nicodemus that unless one be born again, be born from above is simply a metaphor but a description for what it is like to pass from maturity of this life through death back into the protective womb of heaven, just as we have passed from maturity in the womb of our mothers into a fuller, more conscious life in the world. His words give us pause to consider what perhaps it means to rest alive in the bosom of the Father.
