What does it mean to die to self? In John 12, Jesus is trying to help His disciples understand that He would be voluntarily going to the cross. It was completely incomprehensible to them. Why would anyone, much less God incarnate, make the determined choice to suffer death by crucifixion? And yet, that is what God calls each of us to do. What does it look like in our lives to die to self? How does God use this to bring about lasting fruit in our lives and ministries?
