3.26-

For a new thing to break out and old thing must surrender to a big change. Mother would order Burpee seeds and plant them in dirt and the seed would die and beak up and seeds would be multiplied. I read some of mom's journals and there was my last day hoeing Cotton and a bit later my first flight into Dallas. A last day at home and my first Christmas with Sheila. My last day as a single guy and my first day as a married man. My first day as a father a couple of years later. As Jesus reached the end of His earthly life in the shadow of the cross He said it was his life buried in the soil and his life multiplied in the lives of others. Max Lucato has written books centered on the life of Jesus that have reached over 130 million copies in many languages. What are we holding on to that is delaying a new level of expansion and growth?

John 12.

27 “Now My soul has become troubled; and what am I to say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 So the crowd who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him!” 30 Jesus responded and said, “This voice has not come for My sake, but for yours. 31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself.” 33 Now He was saying this to indicate what kind of death He was going to die. 34 The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard from the Law that the [o]Christ is to remain forever; and how is it that You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?” 35 So Jesus said to them, “For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; also, the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.”
