Function Follows Life

“He gives us eyes, and it is afterward that we can see. He gives us a mouth to praise him, and afterward we sing psalms. He gives life, and then we may walk away from the tomb — and not a moment before. We do not see and then get eyes for a reqard. We do not hear and then receive the gift of ears. We do not walk around a bit to show that we are good candidates for resurrection” (From Out of Darkness, Light, p. 149).
