Grace for your spirit 11-17-16

Grace for your spirit
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

This one short thought from Jesus can teach us so much.  We get the secret of farming, the way of salvation, and our path to victory.  When a grain of wheat is planted, it dies and germinates, bringing a crop a hundredfold for each grain.  The success of Jesus' mission came with His death and spread salvation to millions.  For us, when we choose to die to sin, we can be born again, and bless many.  Without His death, He remains alone, and without our death, we remain the same.  The gospel call is for us to come and die.
