In this heartfelt episode of Seeds of the Gospel, we journey into the depths of Christ’s sacrificial love through the powerful worship song “Above All.”

With gentle reflection and reverent storytelling, we explore how Jesus — above all powers, above all kings — chose humility, suffering, and the cross… for us.

Through both spoken word and music, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and receive the truth of a love that laid down everything. A love that was buried… and then rose again.

Let this be more than just a song —
 Let it be a seed planted deep within your heart.

On this most solemn day, Seeds of the Gospel invites you into the heart of the Christian mystery: the Cross of Christ. Join Father Dyson Tharakan and Vinu as they reflect on Good Friday—not as a day of mere mourning, but as the fulfillment of the greatest parable ever told.

In this powerful episode, discover how:

• The Old Testament foreshadows the Cross through the sacrifice of Isaac, the Passover Lamb, and the bronze serpent.
• The New Testament parables find their fulfillment in Jesus’ death, especially in the Good Shepherd and the grain of wheat.
• The Cross becomes a personal call—an invitation to discipleship, sacrifice, and trust in God's redemptive plan.

This is not just a story of death, but of divine love and eternal hope. As we kneel before the Cross, we are reminded that it is not the end—but the beginning of resurrection life.

In this episode, we reflect on The Parable of the Weeds (Matthew 13:24-30), a powerful lesson on God’s patience, the coexistence of good and evil, and His ultimate justice.
