Bible Commentary

John 12:24

Jesus used a seed to explain His death. He had to die so that life could come to many people. Death is not the end — it is the beginning of something far greater.

Memory phrase: Death brings life and fruit.

Talk about it: How is Jesus dying like a seed planted in the ground?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for dying so I could live.
