1 Corinthians 15:35-38 How? Seeds First Die. 20 August 2024

1Co 15:35 Someone may ask:
How are dead people raised,
and what sort of body do they have when they come?
36 How foolish!
What you sow must die before it is given new life;
37 and what you sow is not the body that is to be,
but only a bare grain, of wheat I dare say,
or some other kind;
38 it is God who gives it the sort of body that he has chosen for it,
and for each kind of seed its own kind of body.

Bodies come into existence from seeds.

What You Sow Must Die First

Everything I sow is first pretty useless. Today, I spent a lot of time to solve some presently useless problem. But some seeds have been sown. Perhaps the seeds will come to life in the coming year. I 'water' my ideas. And I watch the growth. I enjoy the new life, my creativity.
Words I sow, may bear fruit. In ways that I can't understand.

Prayer

Jesus, bless the words and seeds I sow.
