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) Jesus speaks here of a great paradox: Death leads to Life. Death must always precede resurrection--this was true for Jesus, and it is true for us. Jesus died on the cross and was raised on the third day; we, His followers, must die to self so that God will raise us to a transformed life. We die to self by sacrificing any selfish desires and agendas that conflict with Gods purposes. Only by dying to self can we live in resurrection power and bear eternal fruit.
