A Life Ripe for Harvest
Commentators explain that the image of a shock of grain represents a life that has reached full maturity and purpose. Just as grain is harvested when it is perfectly ripe, a righteous person's life concludes when they are spiritually ready. The grave is not seen as a tragic end but as a timely and joyful "harvest," where one is gathered into God's heavenly storehouse.
