Guest Thomas I believe Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Greetings to all in Christ Jesus, I wanted to share with you this study in the book of John. This is one of the first parts of God's word that spoke to me after I got saved. Jesus tells us that in Him there is life and without Him there is self and death. I have included the KJV translation and the NIV. John 12 20:26 (KJV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it up like a seed which is lost in the dust of the earth. Pray that God will allow you to see your new life sprout and bear fruit. Be a witnessing servant for the Lord and begin to thank Him now for the honor, which He has prepared for you. Mark 4:26 And He said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come." 30 Then He said, "To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? 31 It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; 32 but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade." 33 And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it. 34 But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples. Isaiah 61:3....That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified." 11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. Thank you Thomas I really appreciated your study this morning!!! In His Love, Suzanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had to! There's a Christian band called Apologetix that parodies secular songs and gives them a Christian message. This on is a parody of "The Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor. I Have to Die First "I'm risin' up," that's what He said. "It's My time. Let's commence this "In three days I will be back from the dead -- There's a plan to fulfill in My life" So many times, He'd talked in the past -- About His passion and glory "Just like the grain used for wheat has to die, I must die, so the wheat can arise." He said, "I have to die first to fulfill all the signs Risin' up through the power of My Father And at last when the hour has come you'll know I was right And I warned you before this -- that I had to die first" Facin' death, in Gethsemane -- Sweatin' blood, feelin' lonely He prayed to God, "You can take this from Me if You will," but He still had to die He said, "I have to die first in this terrible fight Risin' up through the power of My Father And my last lonely hour I'll be prayin' tonight But I want you to know this -- that I Have to die first" Risin' up, hate filled the mob -- Took the Lord up to Calvary Read the sentence, nailed our Lord to the cross -- Yet the Man that they killed is alive He said, "I have to die first -- it's a strange way to fight Risin' up through the power of My Father And at last I'll arise and put the devil to flight And I warned you before this that I have to die first" That I have to die first REPEAT AND FADE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
