If a grain of wheat does not fall into the earth and die, it will abide alone and remain the same. But when it falls into the ground and dies, the death of that grain releases the life within it. We may say that death becomes a release to the inner life of the grain of wheat. Through such a release, the riches of the life of the grain of wheat come forth to produce many grains. The Lord Jesus as a grain of wheat fell into the ground and lost His soulish life through death so that He might release His eternal life in resurrection to the many grains.
-Witness Lee.
Unwitting talking about a Christian manifestation of Becoming, what the Christians call, alternately being born again, and the further process of Sanctification.
We are at once, alone, wheat seeds, but with a certain innate potential engendered into us. To the heart of the matter, we are so much more than meets the eye, and we grow as we live, and then, the Christian afterlife which is a kind of contented perfection.
