Unless a grain of wheat is sown in soil, <br />And dies, decays, transforms, gets life anew, <br />And sprouts into a sapling through one's toil, <br />It cannot grow to bear fruits that are due! <br /> <br />The grain of wheat remains as such, if not: <br />Like selfish men who will not do God's will; <br />Serve God usefully, they simply cannot, <br />Nor granary at harvest-time, they fill. <br /> <br />Like grain of wheat, men have God's will to do; <br />Like Jesus, they must carry cross till death; <br />Like Saviour Christ, they will resurrect too, <br />And fulfill purpose for which God gave birth! <br /> <br />But Christ died on the cross for mankind's sins, <br />And love of man, and Father's obeisance!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-parables-of-jesus-grain-of-wheat/
