John 12:20-26 Some Greeks attended the Passover and paid a visit to Philip, who was from Bethsaida and said, “Sir, we want to meet with Jesus.”
²² Philip told Andrew about it, and they went together to ask Jesus.
²³’²⁴ Jesus replied that the time had come for Him to return to His glory in heaven, and that “I must fall and die like a kernel of wheat that falls into the furrows of the earth. Unless I die I will be alone-a single seed. But my death will produce many new wheat kernels – a plentiful harvest of new lives.
²⁵ If you love your life down here – you will lose it. If you despise your life down here-you will exchange it for eternal glory.
²⁶ “If these Greeks want to be my disciples, tell them to come and follow me, for my servants must be where I am. And if they follow me, the Father will honour them. Amen.
My prayer: Father, forgive me, for putting my trust in myself to take care of matters my own way, instead of your will. I give that up today! And put my trust in You. Amen.
