DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clement of Rome preaches about the continuous proof of a future
resurrection through the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the first-
fruits. He urges believers to reflect on the ongoing resurrection
happening daily, as seen in the cycle of day and night and the process
of sowing and reaping. Just as seeds are dissolved in the ground and
raised up by the providence of the Lord to bear fruit, so will believers
be raised to new life in the future resurrection.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let us consider, beloved, how the Lord continually proves to us that
there shall be a future resurrection, of which He has rendered the Lord
Jesus Christ the first-fruits by raising Him from the dead. Let us
contemplate, beloved, the resurrection which is at all times taking
place. Day and night declare to us a resurrection.

The night sinks to sleep, and the day arises; the day [again] departs,
and the night comes on. Let us behold the fruits [of the earth], how the
sowing of grain takes place. The sower goes forth, and casts it into the
ground; and the seed being thus scattered, though dry and naked when it
fell upon the earth, is gradually dissolved.

Then out of its dissolution the mighty power of the providence of the
Lord raises it up again, and from one seed many arise and bring forth
fruit.
