Jesus’ hour was at hand. The showdown between Jesus and the authorities was imminent. To illumine the meaning of what was about to happen, Jesus told this parable: “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.” The way of the seed is Jesus’ way: letting go, being broken open, dying. A great harvest of new life is the result.
