Evening: Psalm 94; John 12:20-26
“Some Greeks” want to see Jesus. They want to know what he stands for. Jesus’s response is intriguing. He says a grain of wheat must die in order to bear fruit. Jesus often talks this way. He is anticipating his own death. He is also speaking about us, that we must die to ourselves if our lives are to be fruitful. We become our true selves when our egos no longer drive us. This a profound shift, a death and rebirth. This is what Jesus stands for ... the radical transformation of humanity, a movement from death to life.
