John 9:6. Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man’s eyes with the mud.
1 Peter 3:21.Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Mark 6:11.And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.”
Lesson:
Dirt in the Bible is far more than mere earth; it’s a potent symbol of spiritual realities. Whether representing the filth of sin and rejection or the fertile ground necessary for growth, dirt encapsulates human experience from rejection to redemption. In fact, right through the Bible, we see dirt having significance. We were originally created as gardeners, cultivating the ground we were made from (Genesis 2:15). God is described as a potter—a dirty business—while Jesus uses agrarian stories of farming and soil and harvest to explain the kingdom of heaven. It embodies the essence of Mother Earth, serving as a reminder of our interconnectedness with the natural world. Working with dirt allows individuals to establish a deeper connection to nature and draw upon her wisdom and energy. Dirt can symbolize the potential for new beginnings, nourishment, and transformation By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return. Soil is an important source of food and medicine, it filters and purifies our water, reduces flooding and plays a crucial role in the fight against climate change. Learn more about this miraculous substance. Soil is one of the most ubiquitous – and underappreciated – substances on Earth. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.The ground will sprout thorns and weeds, you’ll get your food the hard way, Planting and tilling and harvesting, sweating in the fields from dawn to dusk, Until you return to that ground yourself, dead and buried; you started out as dirt, you’ll end up dirt.”
Closing Prayer: I ask that You would help us to plant ourselves fully and completely within Your holy soil that the seed of Your promises. In the name of Our lord and savior we pray.
