Summary
This quote suggests that significant transformation or growth within the realm of God's kingdom requires a metaphorical death. It implies that in order for something of great value or importance to emerge, there must be a letting go or putting an end to old ways, beliefs, or attitudes. Just as death signifies the end of life and paves the way for something new, this quote suggests that spiritual progress or noteworthy developments in the Kingdom of God are often preceded by a similar process of shedding the old to make way for the new.
