Printable version of this week’s devotional.
Read John 12:23-24. When Jesus acknowledges the closeness of his death, he says that a kernel of wheat must die in order to produce life. A familiar hymn begins; “In the bulb there is a flower, in the seed an apple tree…” The image here is one of the solitary seed and its potential to bear great fruit. We are given a picture of the necessary sacrifice of Jesus. [Life Application Bible] Jesus died for our sins. He removed that which can separate us from God. What is this death that produces life? What is this sacrifice that brings forth a different way of living, cleansed and free?
