\"\"<\/h6>\n
Each breath I take I give back to thee<\/h6>\n
Your gift to all mankind.<\/h6>\n
A living soul, created from dust,<\/h6>\n
Divine craftsman,<\/h6>\n
T’was your plan and your design.<\/h6>\n
Perpetual life, but the seed must die<\/h6>\n
To live within your domain.<\/h6>\n
Blood poured out, Holy sacrifice<\/h6>\n
Hung from the cursed tree<\/h6>\n
Accepted by eternal God<\/h6>\n
This seed had to be\u2026<\/h6>\n
Buried in an earthen tomb<\/h6>\n
Risen, to give life eternally.<\/h6>\n
So, drink the cup and eat the bread,<\/h6>\n
For the one who died, has said,<\/h6>\n
I am the resurrection and the life, all who believe in me, will never die.<\/em><\/h6>\n
He is alive! He is not dead!<\/h6>\n
Each breath I take, I give back to thee.<\/h6>\n
A living soul, no longer dead,<\/h6>\n
I\u2019m alive eternally.<\/h6>\n

  1. \n
    11:25<\/a>\u00a0The words\u00a0I am\u00a0in the Aramaic are a clear statement of Christ\u2019s deity: \u201cI am the living God, the Resurrection and the Life!\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    11:25<\/a>\u00a0The Aramaic uses a word that is related linguistically to the name Noah, who was symbolically \u201cresurrected\u201d from the flood as the life-giver to those who repopulated the earth. Resurrection is superior to life, for life can be defeated and ended. But resurrection overcomes. Life is the power to exist, but resurrection is the power to conquer all, even death itself. Believers must learn to live in Christ our Life, but also, Christ our Resurrection to conquer all things. See\u00a0Phil. 3:10<\/a>.<\/em><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Because then it sprouts and produces[<\/sup><\/em>b<\/sup><\/em><\/a>]<\/sup><\/em>\u00a0a great harvest of wheat\u2014all because one grain[<\/sup><\/em>c<\/sup><\/em><\/a>]<\/sup><\/em>\u00a0died.[<\/sup><\/em>d<\/sup><\/em><\/a>]<\/sup><\/em><\/h6>\n

    1. \n
      12:24<\/em><\/a>\u00a0The Aramaic is translated \u201cTimeless truth I say to you.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
    2. \n
      12:24<\/em><\/a>\u00a0The Aramaic has an interesting word play with \u201cit dies\u201d (myta) and \u201cit produces\u201d (mytya).<\/em><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
    3. \n
      12:24<\/em><\/a>\u00a0The \u201cone grain\u201d is Jesus Christ, who will within days be offered as the sacrifice for sin on Calvary\u2019s cross. He will \u201cdrop\u201d into the ground as \u201ca grain of wheat\u201d and bring forth a great \u201charvest\u201d of \u201cseeds.\u201d This parable given to Philip and Andrew was meant to be Jesus\u2019 reply to the request by the non-Jewish seekers to see Jesus. Christ\u2019s answer? \u201cThey will see me through you. As you follow me, you will also experience the dying and birthing experience.\u201d The harvest among the nations will come when we follow Jesus where he goes.<\/em><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
    4. \n
      12:24<\/em><\/a>\u00a0The Aramaic is translated \u201cif it dies, it will bring forth a great rebirth.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
