Death to Life
March 16, 2025
In John 12 we meet some Greeks who come to Jesus looking to interview Him. In his conversation, He reveals some surprising truth that firstly His death would lead to life and secondly that if they wanted to follow Him they too must die to sin In order to receive Life. In these verses we unpack the hard but glorious road that Jesus calls us die to sin both for the first time as we enter in and then the daily dying to sin to receive new life from Him!

John 12:20–26 (Listen)
Some Greeks Seek Jesus
20 Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. 21 So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 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 Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
