In order for a plant to grow it must first die. The flower produces the seed which is dead before it can begin its life. The seed has nutrients already built in so that it can grow to the surface. It instinctively knows which way it must go in order to receive the life giving light. There are three things that a seed needs in order to become a healthy plant. Those three things are sun light, water, and nutrients from the soil.
In order for us to live life we must first die. We must die to ourselves and of this world. We must seek the true light of the world. In order for us to grow spiritually and have healthy spiritual lives we need three things, amazing huh. We must have God the father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is the light of the world, our sun. Jesus is the life giving water, grace given so that we may be righteous. The Holy Spirit is the nutrients that give us strength and helps us to grow.
We are told in order to live we must first die, out of death comes life. If we are not willing to die first then we cannot have life in abundance. We must remove ourselves at the center of our lives so that there is room for Christ. He needs to be the center of our lives. Then we will have full life not only here but eternal life in heaven.
