“Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone” (John 12:24)
There is a needs-be for us to give ourselves for the life of the world … Fruit-bearing involves cross-bearing. “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone.”
We know how the Lord Jesus became fruitful—not by bearing His cross only, but by dying on it. Do we know much of fellowship with Him in this?
There are not two Christs—an easy-going Christ for easy-going Christians, and a suffering, toiling Christ for exceptional believers. There is only one Christ.
Are we willing to abide in Him and so to bear fruit?
H.T.
