“A stanza of a hymn in our hymnal says:

‘When we see the ripened harvest
Of the golden countryside,
We may know that many seeds have
Fallen to the earth and died.’

Before there can be a harvest, many grains need to fall into the earth and die. But who is willing to die? Instead of dying, nearly everyone wants to receive glory. Thus, no life is imparted into others. It is easy to have a crowd, but difficult to impart life into others. To do this, we need to die. This is my burden in this message. In the Lord’s recovery we do not need a crowd; we need the death that releases life. We need to experience this aspect of Christ’s death.”

(The Experience of Christ, chapter 18)
