A word from last night.
A word from last night.
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
John 12:24 ESV

This is what I got from this.
"Falls to the earth" is understanding that we try to stand on our feet and be independent, but we need to fall to the ground and humble ourselves before the Lord.
"And dies" is to die to self and live for Him.
"It remains alone" is not being in fellowship with others who have died to self. If you are surrounded by selfish people you are actually alone. Because they only care about themselves.
"But if it dies it bears much fruit".
This is what will happen when we humble ourselves, die to self, and fellowship with like minded people. Many will come to the Lord and much fruit will be seen in our lives and in the lives of others. Dying to self is the beginning of true love of others.
