Jesus Predicts His Death

20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the festival. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.

23 Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Very truly I tell you, 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.

~ John 12:20-24 (NIV)

The Resurrection and the Life

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?” ~ John 11:25-26 (NASB)

Follow Me

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. 25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. 26 If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him. ~ John 12:24-26 (NASB)

Lack of Discipline

21 21 For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths.
22 22 The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him,
    and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
23 23 He dies for lack of discipline,
    and because of his great folly he is led astray.

Proverbs 5:21-23 (ESV)

Resurrection and Life

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; ~ John 11:25

Death to Life

I tell you the truth, 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. ~ John 12:24 (NIV 1984)

HE is the Resurrection and the Life

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

~ John 11:25-26
