This is Grain of Wheat, a place of thoughts on knowledge, free will, human nature, history, theology, the spiritual life and love of God.
Why “Grain of Wheat”?
Well, I like Christ’s words in John 12:24: “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” I think this verse encapsulates just about everything about reality, even more so than John 3:16. I’ve seen the concepts behind Christ’s statement in this verse in just about everything I’ve studied over the last few years, and I think it is truly the way to understand everything.
It is, somewhat terrifyingly, also our calling in ways either small, or perhaps complete:
“I am the wheat of God and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of Christ.” - St. Ignatius of Antioch
Just about everything I write will be connected to this verse and to the concept of the Grain of Wheat.
