In this “Space for God: Beauty,” Bette Dickinson (artist and author) guides us into the deep wisdom of Jesus’ teaching in John 12:23, where he illustrates the upside-down growth model of his kingdom with the image of a seed falling into the soil. She unpacks how the biological process a seed undergoes might parallel our journeys of spiritual growth and maturity, and she gives us space to reflect on a series of beautifully rendered paintings of seeds “dying” and then growing to new fruitfulness.
