Today in John 12:20-35 we first get an opportunity to see the battle  within Jesus as He contends with His soul over the very task His Father  sent Him to accomplish! Next, we learn a valuable truth in Kingdom  growth as concerning seeds of grain. If they are never planted for the  purpose to die, they shall never truly live to accomplish their intended  purpose! If they are planted, each grain is capable of bringing forth a  multitude of new seeds just like it! If they are never planted then  they shall never become more than what they are, and what they currently  are will never change! This is a physical reality that testifies to a  spiritual truth that is so powerful if it is heard, seen, and understood  by the reader! Finally, we end up our day with Jesus revealing how we  miss these moments of learning from Jesus and connecting with Him. As we  become "overtaken" by the darkness of this world we can easily loose  sight of the light Jesus gives through His Word to help us make i  through this present evil world! We must be a people vigilant to keep  our hearts settled in Christ by the receiving of His Word so we may be  His light to others who may well be "OVERTAKEN"!!!
