The Seed That Fell from the Master's Hand Bishop John Stevenson

Jesus said, "...for this cause I came". He came to die for our sins. If Jesus had not done what He was sent to do, then He could not set captivity free. In other words, Jesus said I go to prepare a place for you. Anif I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and get you so you will be with me always. Accept a corn of wheat falls to the ground and dies it remains alone. You see, if Jesus had not died to atone our sins, we would remain unfit for the Kingdom. Because no whoremonger, adulterer, fornicator, drunkard, nor idolater will see Heaven. No, absolutely no sinner will see the Kingdom of God. Jesus said I must go first and make ready a place for you in my Father's house where there are many mansions. And after I have accomplished that, I will come back for you and take you back with me and we will spend eternity together. Jesus is the seed that fell from the Master's hand. The sower, who is the father and the husbandman, sows the seed which is the Word of God. The word then becomes flesh and dwells amongst us and we behold the only begotten Son of God full of glory whose name is the word of God. A seed alone in your hand will only stay a seed. But if you sow that seed, plant that seed. You will then see that seed produce and bring forth a harvest that will give birth to a multitude of seeds. And now that seed that was alone in your hand is no longer alone. It is surrounded by a family of other seeds just like itself. Accept the seed falls to the ground and dies it will remain alone. Jesus, who is the seed's purpose for falling to the earth, was to die. He didn't come to earth to go back to heaven alone. He's coming back to get this Church who will be without spot or wrinkle.
