LAST WEEK’S LESSON, THE EAGLE.  THIS LESSON, ANOTHER BIRD!

This is a bird that refuses to stop living its life!  You and I are that bird. 

THAT BIRD IS PHOENIX

The Phoenix represents rebirth, immortality, and renewal.  When the Hohokam civilization went the way of the “Firebird,” the city of Phoenix rose in its ashes.  Like the Phoenix, Jesus died and returned, illustrating his deathlessness.  So, let us Live Life Today.  Today is food for tomorrow’s phoenix—and tomorrow morning’s ever-resurrecting phoenix is You!  You were created to live forever.  So Live Your Life and love it, love it, love it!  There is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy yourself as long as you live said Solomon in Ecc. 3:12.
