The grasshopper reminds us of those people who preach the gospel of life through the resurrection of Christ.
When a grasshopper lays an egg, it wiggles it's body to dig a hole, then lays an egg in the hole. It looks like it is planting a seed.  In a short while, the baby grasshopper; called a nymph, emerges. A nymph looks like a fully grown grasshopper, but just really tiny.


The 'great and terrible day of the Lord' <ref>{{bgw| Joe 2:31 }} The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.</ref> was the day of the cross. It was a terrible day because the wrath of God was poured out on the sin of mankind born by the flesh of Christ Jesus. But it was a great day as the source of eternal life.  
Adam named it 'life through the pit'The new grasshopper looks like the old grasshopper, but different. Other insects produce larvae looking like worms which have to change.
 
When Jesus rose from the dead, he didn't become a new baby. He looked the same as he did before, just different. His friends could still see the scars in his hands and side.
 
The grasshopper, like a good teacher,  reminds us that Jesus is alive.
