Bible Question:
Hey guys, can anyone hlpe explian this passage to me? I know it has a message for every christian outside of predicting jesus's death, but I can't get my head around it. here's the verse: "24I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me." |
Bible Answer: Hi, me! Minor was as they say "is on the money!" I want to add... our death is not necessarily a physical death. If we do not die to our old selves we cannot be Christ's disciples. This is a test that we face every single day of our lives. As society revolves, exponentially, about anti-Christian values we are called to witness to Christ. Our eternal life is dependent of our faithfulness to Christ, for as Minor said: if we deny Him, He will deny us in front of His Father! Nothing that we give up to serve Christ is anything compared to everything that Christ gave up for us, in order to rescue from our sinful state, when He incarnated into a body in the likeness of ours so that He may die in our stead! As we serve Him, faithfully, He gives us the power to be coheirs in the Kingdom of God! God Bless! Angel |
