1 Corinthians 15:36, Except It Die

1 Corinthians 15:36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

To help explain the resurrection, the Apostle Paul uses the imagery of a seed that falls into the ground and dies before the plant springs forth.

William MacDonald observed, “It is wonderful indeed to think of the mystery of life that is hidden in every tiny seed. We may dissect the seed and study it under the microscope, but the secret of the life principle remains an unfathomable mystery. All we know is that the seed falls into the ground and from that unlikely beginning there springs forth life from the dead.”

May the Holy Spirit brings to our understanding the mystery of the resurrection life that we take hold of the hope of the resurrection as a future reality for our present encouragement. Amen.
