Jesus points out a spiritual principle we intrinsically know.
We cannot become the hero we were created to be unless we are willing to sacrifice for the good of others.
Like a seed that is buried only to grow a new plant, Jesus says he will be buried but rise with new life.
Before this Jesus is anointed for burial and rides into Jerusalem on a donkey with the crowd cheering for him. Even a few Greeks want to meet him.
Jesus spoke on behalf of God the Father and in John 12, God the Father spoke on behalf of Jesus!
Even after all the signs Jesus performs, many did not believe in him. Then some who did believe did not share this with others because they fear people more than they should.
