Who Do You Love? A Call to Radical Discipleship
Scripture: John 12:24
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
Reflection:
In this passage, Jesus uses the metaphor of a grain of wheat to illustrate the necessity of His death for the salvation of many. Just as a seed must die to produce a harvest, Jesus’ sacrificial death brings forth new life for believers. This principle of dying to self is central to true discipleship. We are called to lay down our own desires and ambitions to follow Christ fully. Reflect on areas in your life where you need to “die” to self in order to bear fruit for God’s kingdom.
Who Do You Love? A Call to Radical Discipleship
In the heart of the Gospel lies a call that is both profound and challenging—a call to radical discipleship. This call invites us to a life of total self-renunciation and devotion to Jesus Christ. It is a call that echoes through the pages of Scripture, urging us to consider what it truly means to follow Christ in a world that often prioritizes self-preservation and personal gain.
