    Melissa Florer-Bixler preaches on a time in Jesus' life where there is no time left for ministry, but only to speak to those present of his imminent demise and fulfillment of God's plan. The Jesus who has constantly upset our comfortable balance with life and often called us to the do opposite of what we instinctively think correct, again reminds us that if we choose to follow Jesus faithfully, our path will lead to the cross. But the wheat that dies bears a field of fruit, albeit of a type we may not expect to be helpful in creating what we think the Kingdom of God should look like. Herein lies a freedom that comes from our vulnerability, in giving up our attempts to control and rectify the problems of the world, history, politics, and society. We can instead leave it to a God that is always faithful in his love and work of redemption. Our sacrifices, living the life of wheat, brings more wheat, which brings more wheat - beautiful, vulnerable, and a fundamental part of our calling to follow Christ.
