John 12:24 New International Version (NIV)
24 Very truly I tell you, 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.
Jesus announced this truth, recognizing that God was calling
him to lay down his life so his followers could join him in glory. Sacrifice is
never easy, but despite his disciples' lack of courage and faithfulness during
his last hours, Jesus truly believed that his sacrifice would bring the best
out in them, and then also lead them to share his grace and glory with many
others. (It should do the same for us!) The very fact that we are thinking of
Jesus today is proof that he was correct about his powerful impact on them and
others that came after them.
Thought for today:
Do I dedicate myself to my faith? (Am I consistent in my practice?)
