Jesus was about to die on the cross, the worst day there is, and He talked about a kernel of wheat that has to die so it can multiply for other people. That is faith in hard times. When life gets hard, God can take one bad thing and use it for the good of other people, because God works all things together for good, and He does not waste anything.
