John 12:17-28

In John 12, the Apostle records these earth-shattering words of our Lord, "Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." The question is: do we trust Jesus enough to die to ourselves and the temporal things of this world, to gain eternal life and bear fruit for His glory?
