Quote from G.K. Chesterton

I'm currently reading a book by Eugene Peterson entitled "Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places". As with other books he has written, he captivates my mind through his incredible ability to use words to create mental imagery. It is difficult to use snippets from one of his books because his thoughts are developed page after page. There are no slogans to be derived from his writings. In the chapter "Christ Plays in Creation", Peterson quotes G.K. Chesterton. "What has really happened during the last seven days and nights? Seven times we have been dissolved into darkness as we shall be dissolved into dust; our very selves, so far as we know, have been wiped out of the world of living things; and seven times we have been raised alive like Lazarus, and found all our limbs and senses unaltered, with the coming of the day."
