The Power of the Crucifixion & Resurrection of Jesus
Source text: John 12
It can be difficult at times to understand and/or explain why Jesus had to suffer and die for us. In a time where friendships are in danger of being nothing more than shallow “acquaintances”, it is of great importance to understand how deeply God loves you and to what length He demonstrated His desire for you to be with Him eternally.
What agricultural analogy did Jesus use to help his followers understand why He had to die?
