Jesus said to them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to receive his glory. I tell you the truth, a grain of wheat must fall to the ground and die to make many seeds. But if it never dies, it remains only a single seed. Those who love their lives will lose them, but those who hate their lives in this world will keep true life forever. Whoever serves me must follow me. Then my servant will be with me everywhere I am. My Father will honor anyone who serves me. (John 12:23-26 NCV) Faith and God's kingdom seem paradoxical to the natural mind. They are beyond the natural--that is, supernatural. Lose your life and gain it, die (to self) and live, serve and be honored. ©Word-Strong_2013
