And God
said, ‘Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and
let the dry land appear.’ And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the
waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was
good. Then God said, ‘Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed,
and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.’
(Genesis 1:6-11)
Through the earth, God provides for his creatures:
God said, ‘See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the
face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have
them for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air,
and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of
life, I have given every green plant for food. (Genesis 1:29-30)
The middle section of the panel shows the Parable of the Sower, where the
earth represents the soil of our hearts and we are challenged to bear fruit:
A sower went out to sow his seed... Some fell into good soil and when it grew,
it produced a hundredfold. (Luke 8:5,8)
The final section represents Christ laid in the earth and raised to new life
through the Spirit. In the Letter to the Romans, St Paul writes that, through
Baptism, we too have been laid in the tomb with Christ and so will be raised to
new life:
Do you
not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized
into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death,
so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so
we too might walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:3-4)
