Christ the Grain of Wheat

What did the Lord Jesus Christ come into the world to do? We find that Jesus tells us this, in these verses. These words of Jesus have great significance for anyone who would know Christ or follow Christ, in our own day. His words here tell us what it would mean for Him to be glorified, and what it will mean for us to be glorified together with Him. And so, I would like to make 3 statements concerning what Jesus meant when He said that He, as a grain of wheat, would have to fall into the earth and die. When He said this, He was including all of His disciples in what it would mean for us to follow Him.
