Fallen Wheat

Jesus said, "Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds" (Jn 12:24).  

So, we know he is saying that we must metaphorically die in order to truly live and live up to our potential. However, how is it that we die?  What does that look like?  

The notion is explained in the next two verses (Jn 12:25,26), where Jesus invites the "fallen wheat" to follow him. To die is to be freed from the tyranny of our own self-centeredness and give the directing of our lives over to Christ. 

You will die, either to the will of Christ, which would bring abundant life or to your own will, which is limiting and ultimately self-destructive.  What is your choice?  Jus' Ask'n.
