On Sunday, 20 November 2011, we heard the sermon “Unless a Grain of Wheat” and reflected on Jesus’ words in John 12:20-26, which read at 24: “Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” We came to know that Christ is the Seed that was promised to Abraham (Galatians 3:16), and that brings forth much fruit. Moreover, through the redemptive work of Jesus we may also die to our sinful self and be filled with new life. By Christ we are enabled to produce “fruit that lasts” (John 15:16) and to “live a life worthy of the Lord” (Colossians 1:10). If we remain, however, apart from Him, “we can do nothing” (John 15:4-5), and will be considered and treated by God as “chaff” (Psalm 1:4; Matthew 3:12). Feel free to download the sermon “Unless a Grain of Wheat” and use it for your Bible study and edification. (BF)
