I first introduced to Joseph Butler last Tuesday. I am following a course on Anglicanism. Our enthusiastic for Anglicanism leader listed Joseph Butler as one the great 18th century church thinkers giving us the analogy of the transformation of a hairy, creeping, leaf munching caterpillar into an exotically coloured, flying nectar sucking butterfly as a way of viewing our transformation from the body of this life into the body of life after death.
The Corinthian passage today reminded me of this and set me thinking again about the indescribable improbable changes that are totally impossible to our mortal minds but as easy as blinking an eye to our God.
