John 12:32(ESV)
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.
The triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem gave a reminder to Christ about his crucifixion. It reminded him of what was about to happen in a few days. His death gave us victory over the flesh, his death gave us victory over sin and his death gave us freedom from the bondage of the god of this world.
The falling of Christ into the ground was to produce the many grains that are the lost souls of this world. Christ’s death is revealed not as the redeeming death but as the producing, and generating death. By this death, His incarnation shell of humanity was broken so that He might accomplish His threefold purpose.
The producing of many grains, the drawing of all men to Himself, the releasing of the divine element, the eternal life, and the judging of the world and the casting out of its ruler, Satan. Beloved, we must experience the Lord’s death so that we may participate in the threefold purpose that He accomplished. Hallelujah!!!
Prayer:
Thank you heavenly Father for giving me eternal life and granting me life over the flesh. Help me to follow after charity and follow your will in all my ways in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
