What's the Plan?

Point 1:

I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives. (Jn 12:24 NLT)

Point 2:

Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity (Jn 12:25 NLT)

Point 3:

Anyone who wants to serve Me must follow Me, because My servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves Me (Jn 12:26 NLT)

Point 4:

“Now My soul is deeply troubled. Should I pray, ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But this is the very reason I came! 28 Father, bring glory to Your name.” (Jn 12:27–28 NLT)

Point 5:

Then a voice spoke from heaven, saying, “I have already brought glory to My name, and I will do so again.” 29 When the crowd heard the voice, some thought it was thunder, while others declared an angel had spoken to Him. 30 Then Jesus told them, “The voice was for your benefit, not Mine. 31 The time for judging this world has come, when Satan, the ruler of this world, will be cast out. 32 And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to Myself.” 33 He said this to indicate how He was going to die. (Jn 12:28–33 NLT)

Concluding scripture:

But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. 13 For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God. 14 Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green. 15 They will declare, “The Lord is just! He is my rock! There is no evil in him!” (Ps 92:12–15 NLT)
