Sown Like a Seed
Commentators explain that Paul uses the analogy of a seed to describe resurrection. Our burial is like "sowing" our body in the earth. Just as a humble seed must be buried to bring forth a new and more glorious plant, our mortal bodies will be "raised" into a new, glorious, and immortal form by God's power.
