MYSTERIOUS LIFE PRINCIPLE

A wise old professor of biology stood before his class of eager students. The Professor held a little brown seed in his hand. Quietly he spoke to his class.

"I know just the composition of this seed. It has nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon. I know the exact proportions. I can make a seed that will look exactly like this one. But if I plant the seed that I have made it will come to naught; its elements will simply be absorbed into the soil. But if I plant the seed, which God has made, it will become a living plant, because it contains the mysterious life principle."

(From a sermon by Jimmy Haile, Great Gift, 8/14/2011)
