Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does Jesus say happens to a grain of wheat that falls into the ground and dies, and what does he promise those who serve him?

  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • What part of your old life is Jesus asking you to let die so that new fruit can grow?

  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • How will you serve and follow Jesus this week, even where it costs you?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who could see the fruit of your changed life this week — and hear why it changed?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Jesus, like the grain of wheat you fell into the ground and died so that many would live. Help me let go of my own life so that yours can bear fruit through me.
