Good Heavenly Father! Thank you for allowing us to testify of the Lord with the theme of the Resurrection ahead of the Lord's Resurrection Sunday. May many people in the world read and learn about and be convinced of their own resurrection to receive the Lord, and to be faithful with all their body and mind for the building of the kingdom of God you desire on this earth!
Part 3 The Seeds and Resurrections - Is It Grain(알곡) or empty heads of grain
Bitter melon seeds, Kidney Beans, Corns, Black Beans, Pumpkin Seeds, Sweet Pumpkin Seeds
Behold the seeds above!- Check My Life
There are 6 kinds of seeds in the picture above. The first is a photo of bitter melon seeds, the second is a kidney bean seed, the third is corn and black beans, and the last two are pictures of pumpkin seeds. It is certainly not a painting, but photographs of the real thing. But if all these seeds are alive, these seeds must be resurrected. It is not resurrected as a single seed but is resurrected with at least 30, 100, or 1000 fold fruit.
However, there is a stage that the seeds must go through for this resurrection. In order for a seed to be resurrected and produce many fruits, it must fall to the ground and die. If this seed remains as it is, there will be no resurrection. The seed must fall to the ground and die. There is a saying about this principle by a man who never said a word of lies. These are the words of John 12:24.
John 12:24. I tell you the truth unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
Here, a grain of wheat refers to Jesus. Jesus said that he must die to bear much fruit. According to these words, Jesus shed His blood and died on the cross for the sins of all mankind. And two thousand years have passed. As Jesus said, the fruits of Jesus are no longer absent in the nations of the world, and there are more than 2 billion people on this earth.
The above seeds can be resurrected because there is life in these seeds. A stone, or an inanimate matter, falling to the ground does not give rise to anything of its own likeness. Only beings with the same life as the seed above can be resurrected in a more abundant form than their own. How are we? Everyone living in this world believes that they have life and are living beings.
If someone says to you, "You're dead!" then you will be angry. In the human eye, everyone seems to be alive. Everyone believes in themselves as the primate of all things, as a thinking being, and as the most outstanding being. And, in fact, the living, unlike the dead, is alive and moving.
But for your resurrection, you must first check whether your life as you perceive it alive is really alive or dead. It's really hard to bear. But it must be pointed out. Those who help this are God and the Bible, and the evangelists who spread the gospel. All of these people truly love you. They are the solvers of your life's biggest problems.
Am I a resurrectable life? Or am I dead?
When a seed falls to the ground and dies, the most important reason that the seed can be resurrected as 30, 60, 100, or thousands of times the fruit is because the shape of the life to be resurrected is already in the seed. The shape of this life is different for each plant. In order for humans to be resurrected, this kind of life must also exist in the human body. Because only with this kind of life, after I die, there will be a wonderful resurrection of new life through me. However, all living and moving humans believe that they are alive and are living. Then, when these humans die, it is clear that all of them will be 100% resurrected.
However, there are very few people who know and believe in this amazing proposition, that is, their own resurrection, who are confident that there is life. At best, the Buddhist belief is that through reincarnation, one comes to life as an animal or other living being. It is said that this is also enjoyed by certain people who have achieved amazing cultivation, and the rest will be resurrected in the form of beasts. So they believe that they should love all animals. For those who believe in Jesus, the resurrection is a universal belief.
The ignorance of this important resurrection, eternal life, and glory is the first evidence that a person is dead. Even though he has a 100% chance of being perfectly immortal and resurrected, the fact that he doesn't know it doesn't even try to know it, and believes that the world is everything, proves himself as a dead human being
"I'm alive, I'm rich enough to succeed, and I'm so smart, so I graduated from Seoul National University, and there's nothing I don't know. I've been struggling with my life and living well." “But after death, what is the resurrection, and what is the new life?” Screaming, angering, and rambling is all too clear evidence that he is dead.
Indeed, Jesus was resurrected, and there is eternal heaven where we will live after our resurrection. And there is a way for us to enjoy eternal life as an eternal body as a resurrected body. However, avoiding it, denying it, and not believing it is proof that you are dead.
If you live in this world in this state of the dead and die, just as a lifeless seed falls to the ground and dies, there is no fruit, so this person can never be resurrected. Since there is no life in him that must be had while living in this world, as a lifeless seed, you can never expect the fruit of the resurrection either. Now I must first restore my life before I am buried. I must be transformed into a living being. I must come back to life. When I see myself dead, I must repent and receive new life.
It was because of my sins that I became such a dead person. I am dead because I have sinned. This sin led me to a body of death, and I must bleed and die to pay the penalty for my sin. I am paying the price for that sin with death. But there is someone who can save me from this body of sin. There is someone who will lead me into a new life. He shed His blood and died on the cross for me. This is Jesus, the Savior of the whole world. It is Jesus who will give me new life and lead me to resurrection.
Let's see the conclusion to our resurrection right away!
John 12:24. I tell you the truth unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
1 Cor 15:31. I die every day -- I mean that brothers -- just as surely as I glory over you in Christ Jesus our Lord
35. But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?"
36. How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
38. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed, he gives its own body.
39. All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
40. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.
41. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
42. So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;
43. it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
44. it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
45. So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
46. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.
47. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
48. As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.
49. And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.
50. I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
51. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed --
52. in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
54. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
55. "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"
56. The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
The most definitive and accurate explanation of the Resurrection
First of all, Jesus showed the resurrection through death and resurrection. He became the first fruits of the resurrection. And the fruit is now about 2 billion people on the planet. And the apostle Paul, who denied Jesus and tried to arrest those who believed in Jesus, used the expression that he also die every day like Jesus. There are two types of death: dying at the end of our life on this earth, and killing our own lusts while we live in the world. Killing me is an expression we all know. Breaking my stubbornness, breaking my desires, and being considerate of others are killing me. Just as a seed holds life in it, so too do we have a body and an inner spirit. But whether you're alive is always a question. The confession of the Apostle Paul also explains how the created being renewed by believing in Jesus controls his desires.
The following verses explain how people are resurrected and in what form they will be resurrected. Resurrection is a blessing that can only be enjoyed after death. You can never experience resurrection without dying. It is only when we leave this world that we can be resurrected. It is like a single seed of a plant that falls to the ground and dies only to be resurrected into countless new life. Death and resurrection are intertwined. I must die, and when I die, I must be resurrected. And the description of the resurrection's appearance is detailed.
The Bible says that we sow a seed, not an image that will come from it. But the Bible says that the seed will die on the earth and resurrect in a wonderful form. And it is said that each seed has a different image within it. In a small shape called a watermelon seed, a long watermelon vine, a large, sweet, and cool fruit called a watermelon, and hundreds or thousands of seeds resembling its original shape are contained in each watermelon seed.
And the Bible says that the flesh of man and beast, bird and fish is different. The Bible explains that there are heavenly forms and there are earthly forms, and that glory is divided into heavenly and earthly things. We who live in this world now have the shape of the earth.
However, The Bible explains in detail the wonderful aspects of the resurrection that we will enjoy after we die. First, he says that we will be resurrected with a body that never dies and never decays, which is completely different from the body that will return to the dust when we die. It is to have a body that enjoys eternal life. It is the body of eternal youth that is free from disease and does not age. It's amazing. And it is said that we will be resurrected in a glorious form. It is not a body that suffers from reproach, persecution, and persecution while living in this world. It is to be resurrected with glory.
Being strong is not a body that is controlled by water, fire, or any other force. We have evidence of seeing the appearances of the dead humans Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration. And The Bible says that we will be resurrected with a spiritual body, not the physical body we have now and that change occurs in an instant with the sound of a trumpet, again explaining the changed shape. The Bible continues to say that we will be resurrected with an immortal body that neither perishes nor dies. It is the Word of life that we must firmly believe in regardless of the reason.
The description of Seeds with Life
Example: Pumpkin - sowing time, place, method, yields
Sowing time: April-May
Location: Location: Anywhere on the open ground, on a slope, or in a mountain area, if there is space for vines to grow, a place where stems can grow on a roof or high wall
Planting: Dig a hole and plant a seed or grow it as a seedling and plant it
Yields: About 10 pumpkin lumps per seed. It can be harvested about 2,000 times based on seeds, and it does not take much effort after planting
Edible: The shoots can be eaten and can be eaten as zucchini or old pumpkin
Consider planting pumpkin seeds.
Let's take a look at the procedure that a grain of wheat must go through in order to fall to the ground and die. First, the pumpkin seeds must fall to the ground. Pumpkin seeds don't die if they fall on a stone. It must fall to the ground to die. It is said that we plant this in a little learned language. In order for life to be resurrected, it must return to the dust. In order to be resurrected, a person must die and be buried with dirt. This means that the body returns to dust. There is absolutely no need to be afraid. When we stop breathing and our body dies, we become completely numb to anyone who beats us.
Pumpkins should be planted by selecting the time of sowing. Usually, if you dig a hole in March and May and plant the seeds, most of them will sprout. If it is not a hollow pumpkin seed (chaff), it will germinate well. Pumpkins have strong vitality and can grow anywhere. Even in a grassy place, it overcomes all grass and grows vigorously by extending its stem. It rides well on inclines. Climbs up high places. Goes low and climbs trees. When weeds grow around them, they ride on them and spread out.
When the pumpkin grows, the shoots come out first. Then the pumpkin flower blooms, and then the pumpkin bears fruit. Planting at least one seed produces about 10 pumpkins on the stem. If there are 100 seeds in a lump, about 1000 seeds are produced. When one seed falls to the ground and dies, it is resurrected with 1000 seeds. What a wonderful resurrection power and vitality. If our life falls to the ground and dies, what wonderful fruits of resurrection will be produced? When a single pumpkin seed, which cannot speak and cannot move, falls to the ground and dies, it leaves a thousand times the same fruit as itself. But what about the fruits that a living human being who can move, speak, read, think, and engage in various activities will bear when they die? It will undoubtedly be beyond imagination with human abilities. We are all living beings created in the image of God, capable of having such amazing fruits of the resurrection. If you do not believe this, you are distorting the truth.
Pumpkin can also be eaten with its soft leaves. If you tear off pumpkin leaves, blanch them slightly, chop garlic and spicy green peppers in salted soup, and wrap them with rice, there is no more delicious food in that season. And pumpkins can be cooked in a variety of ways, from zucchini to aged zucchini. It can be cooked and eaten in various ways, such as pumpkin porridge, rice cake, candy, and jelly. The regenerated, renewed soul brightens the whole world. Wherever they go, they work to save lives, practice love, and save justice.
The image contained in the small pumpkin seeds is when we plant the pumpkin seeds in the ground, the pumpkin seeds sacrifice themselves to make new shoots and roots, and the shoots grow into vines, flowers, and huge pumpkins formed. This goes beyond the realm of human beings who plant and water, and this is the work of the One who made this world directly. God makes this pumpkin grow by shining the sun, giving it rain, and nourishing the earth. And finally, it will bear fruit hundreds or even thousands of times. In the same way, the resurrection of humans will be resurrected in a wonderful way. If we knew and believed in this amazing future resurrected body, we would never have to worry at all about death.
Explaining how seeds are fruited: seeds, farmers, and God
First, prepare the seeds - the planter
Must have land to plant - roadside, stony ground, thickets, fertile land
Sow seeds in time.
If you plant a seed and it grows, you water it while watching it - the waterer
Remove weeds.
trim the stems
Fertilizer or medicine when needed
everything from then on
God makes the plants grow, yielding 30-thousand-thousand-fold harvests in due time
Let's learn about the process of resurrection
We do not believe in the resurrection because we do not understand the process. To understand our resurrection, let us first look at the resurrection of plants. First, there must be someone who sows the seeds. And after planting, We need to water. Watering should be done initially until the plants have grown to some extent on their own or if there is no rain. Water until the roots are completely rooted. This is called watering. Then it will grow. The seed must be planted in the ground. If the seed falls on a rocky field, on the roadside, or in a thorn bush, the bird pecks it or grows a little, then burns or withers. It must be planted in the ground to bear fruit. After that, God gives the sun, rain, and wind for the rest of the day and night, so that it all grows. And then the fruit grows, and the new seeds, hundreds or even dozens of times, are resurrected.
I personally experienced all these processes by planting various crops on 600 pyeong of land in Hanam. In the case of pumpkins, my wife and I planted the seeds and left them alone, but by October, all the vines had grown and the pumpkins were dangling. I also planted the seeds with my wife and left the corn as it was, but again in August, the corn stalks grew close to 3 meters, and there were more than two corns per tree. Beans and sweet potatoes were all like that. We just plowed the ground, planted, and watered it for a while, but then God made it all grow. I have not worked hard at all. It was just organic and without pesticides or fertilizers, I went and pulled weeds out for a while, but I just had to pick them up during the harvest season. If a farmer has seeds and land, then God will grow all the plants.
The process of human resurrection is very similar to that of plants. First of all, someone must sow the seeds of the gospel in the field of my heart. The gospel must be planted in our hearts, just as a seed falls to the ground and is planted. The gospel is called the good news, the gospel, because it is the good news that saves us from the dead who are stained with sin. This gospel is the Word about Jesus, the Word that lets us know that we are sinners and the Word of life that enables us to overcome sin and live again. And when the gospel, the Word of life that saves us, is sown in the field of our hearts by an evangelist, then we need people who will make us grow like watering plants. These are the teachers and pastors of the church. These are the people God has called and appointed by God to help us be resurrected. These people are not in the company of the world, they are in the church. The church is the body of Jesus, and we exist as members of it. These people help us to be resurrected in great shape. They help us with love. But it is also Almighty God who ultimately makes us grow. His Son, the Savior Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, too, always help us grow.
In this way, the God of love is preparing for our amazing spiritual body of resurrection, but we do not know this, so the resurrection feels so far away from me. We must examine this wonderful preparation and make it ours. If we reject this good news, how can we enjoy the resurrection? How can we see the resurrection of a plant without a single plant falling to the ground? We must never refuse to let the seed of the gospel that will surely resurrect us fall into the field of our hearts. It should be eagerly desired and welcomed with joy. The first step in my resurrection is to plant the gospel in my heart.

6. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.
8. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop -- a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
9. He who has ears, let him hear.“
[Words about the process of bearing fruit so far]
Explanation of the Word
Before we explain the Word, we want to ask you a question. Some of you may find this to be a bit lengthy. But really, think about it for a second! Is it important for me to analyze all the information in the world now and decide whether to buy or sell my stock? Or is it more important to know about my wonderful resurrection after I died? Really, life goes by so quickly.
Look at the amount of time and energy you have devoted to this stock in a situation where you have been immersed in stock investment for years now, winning hundreds of millions or billions, or losing hundreds of millions or billions. And compare the time investment and energy of having an understanding of the Resurrection you are reading now with that! You will see how much of your precious time you have spent immersed in matters that are not so important in this world, aside from the most important issues of your life. This is how the devil led you that way. The devil stole so much time to learn and believe about my precious salvation and resurrection. Now we want you to get stronger and try to focus a little bit more. God will be with you, help you, and enlighten you to understand this secret. He loves you so much and wants you to be saved and resurrected to eternal life.
The various seeds we saw earlier were created by God in such kinds from the beginning. The Man was made in the image of God, animals were made animals, and plants were made plants. And in that seed, in our bodies, the amazing image of the resurrection was also created by God. This is being explained. The theory of evolution given by the devil denies God's creation and hinders our resurrection. It makes us engrossed in other things. you have to wake up
Second Bible Word The words of John 12:24 tell us that we must first die in order to receive new life, to bear fruit, and to be resurrected. Jesus says that resurrection is possible only after death and that there is resurrection after death. Just as a plant enters the earth, decays, and is resurrected to new life, so we, too, must die and enter the earth and be resurrected with a wonderful new spiritual body.
The last verse describes a person who sows or preaches the seeds of the gospel in the field of a person's heart just like a plant's seed is planted in the soil. And there is an explanation of the person who waters the people who have planted the seeds of the gospel in this way, and the God who ultimately makes them grow. Because the example of plants and the example of humans are the same. And there are kinds of fields of the mind. He explains that there are various fields of the human mind just like the sown of seeds of plants.
What kind of heart do I really have? Even if the field is a little poor, the farmer tries to turn it into fertile soil by removing stones and composting it. It is clear what we must do by loving our souls. However, Jesus shed His blood and died on the cross in order to create us as the workmanship that is already stained with our sins and cannot bear any good fruit, that is, to wash away and forgive all our sins. Now, what we have to do is to believe this, receive forgiveness of our sins, and enter the church to be served. Having received the grace of God's growth, we can now grow. It's not difficult at all, it's exciting, and considering the great work of my amazing resurrection, there are so many little things waiting for you. You are never alone, but the brothers and pastors of faith and Jesus who loves you are always with you.

Let's check it with a picture.
The above four pictures are picture materials for the Bible verse and its explanation so far. We look at the Bible verse as a basis, then explain the verse and show pictures to help you understand it. If the Word is not the standard, no one will believe it. If the Word says so, all mankind needs to believe without any doubt. Because it is the true word of the Creator of heaven and earth, full of justice and love. If you are still unable to confirm this, it is because you have already wasted a lot of your precious time elsewhere, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Word. Let's get excited!! try more
Seeds must be sown in the ground, the soil. The first picture shows even soil, pumpkin seeds, and corn seeds. Are there any stones in my heart? Just as a farmer picks up stones and turns them into soft soil, we too must cultivate our hearts with the Word. Above all else, the first thing I need to do is to save me, who was dead in my sins and trespasses, by relying on the blood of Jesus. In other words, I listen to those who bring good news to my heart. When the evangelist planting the gospel shouts, “Believe in Jesus or go to church,” it means that I listen to them. That is, I allow those who sow the seeds to bring the good news of the resurrection to my heart. Or that I read the Bible calmly. It's all the same, and attending church and listening to the pastor's sermons is also a very good way to save me. All churches are waiting for you.
The second picture shows Yeoju(bitter gourd) seed and seed falling into the soil and dying and resurrecting to new life. There is life in a single bitter gourd seed. There is an image inside the bitter gourd seed, which revives the stem of the bitter gourd, the fruit of the bitter gourd, and the numerous seeds of the bitter gourd. We also have that form in our bodies. So we will be resurrected and we will have a wonderful resurrection. The most important point here is that both plants and humans must die. A small bitter gourd seed has sacrificed all of its body and only the shell remains, showing how it conceived a new life. In order to be resurrected, all people must first have the life that enables them to be resurrected. And as the apostle Paul confessed, we must die every day. It is a small effort of a short life for eternal life.
The third picture shows the marvelous image of the resurrection contained in the little seed. Watermelon seeds and pumpkin seeds, watermelons and watermelon vines, and pumpkins and pumpkin vines. We drew this to think about the amazing shape of the resurrected body in our body while looking at the resurrection in the small pumpkin seeds. And the last picture also shows the amazing resurrection of corn and black beans. If we, too, are planted in this way, that is, when we die, we will be resurrected. And we will be resurrected in a wonderful way. Again, however, the most important fact that should not always be forgotten is that within us there must be a life that makes our resurrection possible.
It is a phenomenon we can see all the time, but when we look at it like this, we understand new truth. If we seek the truth in this way, always read the Bible, pray, attend church, walk with the Lord, do good, and preach the gospel, we will be resurrected as shining beings like the stars in the sky. Behold the brilliance of Paul and the brilliance of Moses! 2 billion people view it at the same time every day. Two billion people a day shout that name. Don't be surprised by Blackpink and BTS!!
Let's check it again and again with the words of the Bible
John 12:24. I tell you the truth unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
1 Cor 5:35. But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?"
36. How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
38. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed, he gives its own body.
39. All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
40. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.
41. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
42. So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;
43. it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
44. it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
45. So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
46. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.
47. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
48. As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.
49. And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.
1 Cor 15:36. How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
38. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.
[the word and picture of the seed's resurrection process...[Words and pictures about the process of the resurrection of the seed.
There is a detailed explanation of the resurrection along with the words that a grain of wheat must fall to the ground and die. And it is an explanation of the shape of the future resurrection contained in the seed. And the different types of resurrection are explained. And the Bible explains the resurrection of man. A comparison with Adam is used to explain the work of Jesus. We are the descendants of Adam. Jesus is our Creator, and He belongs to heaven. However, by the grace of Jesus who saves us, although we belong to the earth, we will be clothed with the image of heaven, that is, we will be resurrected and live forever. It means that we can live that way through the gospel.
