CHRIST- “A CORN OF WHEAT…”
(John 12:24) “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”
Christ is worth living for and He is also worth dying for. Paul said in the book of Romans that we’re supposed to give our lives as a living sacrifice in which I strongly agree; and not our dead bodies. I believe that Christ is the “corn of wheat…” that was mentioned in our text. He gave His life for us, for our salvation. He died so we might live. He suffered so we can be with Him in heaven for eternity. He humbled Himself so He can lift us up by His death on the Cross. Notice this very beautiful passage from the Scripture; “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die,” He stepped down (in a human form) in obedience to the Father’s will, so the prideful sinners like us would bow down in submission to His will. He died for our sins so we could die to our sins, because without Christ, we can do nothing...
The Apostle Paul beautifully gave us a picture of Christ’s humility as “a corn of wheat” in (Philippians 2:5- 8) 5- “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6-Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7- But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8- And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
