People's Commentary (NT)
John 12:24
Verily, verily. These prefatory words give solemn emphasis.
Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth
alone. This statement enforces a great truth. The grain of wheat
may remain in the granary for a thousand years and be preserved, but it
is useless there. It neither reproduces, nor is food. It is when it
falls into the ground and undergoes dissolution, that it brings forth
fruit. It is fruitful by "giving itself up". So, too, Christ must give
himself up. His death was needful in order that he might impart life to
the nation. There is a lesson here for disciples who would "bear much
fruit" (John 15:8).
