Jesus answered:
"Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless a grain of wheat falls
to the ground and dies,
it remains just a grain of wheat;
but if it dies, it produces much
fruit....Whoever serves Me
must follow Me, and where I am, there
also will My servant be. The Father will
honor whoever serves Me".
John 12: 24 & 26
