John 12:24
I've been thinking over this verse today and I really love it. The illustration is profound. For some reason this one sticks out to me as if I was looking at a piece of art that I really like. Maybe I like it because I haven't heard many sermons or christian leaders mention it and I uncovered it myself and realize the meaning without the need of another's interpretation. I cherish those moments that happen, where I can just be amazed by the Truth without feeling like another person trying to reveal it to me. It's like discovering treasure or a place that no one else has shown you before.
As I ramble on and on about this then, I leave it for you to interpret without me explaining why I like it. It's so post modern of me I know, haha but I think sometimes we grow numb to God's Word from a constant reliance of preaching that we forget what it's like to learn without a human intermediary and His Spirit alone speaking into our hearts.
Of course, maybe that's just my problem.
[Disclaimer] I'm not against preaching, I can prove that to you by showing you all the Piper sermons I've been listening to all week. ;-) [/Disclaimer]
