* Jesus is saying that if you are willing to give him your life you will find it.

* Your life is like a seed - capable of bearing much fruit but only until it dies.

* If I handed you a handful of different kinds of seeds you wouldn’t know what they are.

* Most seed looks alike until they are planted and die.

* After death and in time they are revealed for what they truly are.

* The same is true with us - we can go through life looking like everyone else but be useless in God’s kingdom.

* Or we can choose to die and bring the life out of us that God put in us!

* When we die to ourselves we find ourselves.
