Do you know what it means when plants have “gone to seed”? This is when plants that have experienced trauma will sacrifice themselves by redirecting their growth to producing seeds for the next planting season.
My sermon came from I Peter 1:23 “For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God." Christ, like the bolting crop, sacrificed himself to create seeds that he plants in our spirits when we open our arms to embrace him. He lives in us through those seeds he plants, and that seed will grow to yield the fruit according to God’s purpose.
