IN HIS LIKENESS
“If we have been united together in the likeness
of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His
resurrection.” -ROMANS 6:5
It is impossible for us to take up the
Cross and not be resurrected. I am almost afraid to make it so plain
lest we fail to appreciate its mystery, but it is all there in the
Scriptures. We cannot ascend until we have first descended.
Can
we embrace the Cross, and love the hands that nail us to it, and hold
nothing against the One Who put us there? Can we commit our spirit into
His hands and give up Self, looking beyond the present suffering to see
the joy that is set before us? This is the way of the Overcomers.
