Pastor Per at Community of Hope, where Ryan and I go to church, had a powerful sermon on Sunday. I invite you to listen if you have a spare moment. Listen or watch here... If you watch, you'll be able to see his visual connection.
It's based on Matthew 8:18-22. It's confusing passage where Jesus tells a man to leave the dead to bury their own dead. I've always been puzzled by this side of Jesus but Per had a helpful perspective. The Holy Spirit cleared the muddied waters.

Beautiful Butterflies
On the 4th we had the chance to hang out at Como. The zoo had an extraordinary butterfly garden. It was all enclosed and you walked through viewing the butterflies doing their thing. I had never done anything like this before. Loved it! Butterflies always remind me of Romans 12:1-2:
1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies
as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of
worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and
approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
The word "transform" in Greek is similar to metamorphosis, the process which turns catepillers into butterflies. God is good, transforming us always into His likeness.
