Your "planting new creation" and "just as important" bullet points made me cry. It is something I feel in my soul and so so validating to hear it said--said clearly, directly, convictingly.
It has meant a lot to me too. I first heard this view of Resurrection when I had very small children, which is a season full of diapers and crumbs and crayons --- every day feels like a repeat of the one before. But to hear that I am participating in building New Creation in the middle of all that is so empowering.
