“I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.”
-JOHN
11:25
The
Cross does not represent Death – it represents Life out of Death. Jesus
does not refer to Himself as the Crucifixion and the Death, but He
calls Himself the Resurrection and the Life. Even so, this Resurrection
and Life implies that there has been a very real, thorough death. You
cannot resurrect someone who has not died.
God
wills that all of us stand together with Christ on resurrection ground
where death has no power over us. That is certainly a powerful ground to
stand upon, but there is no direct route to get there. The path to
resurrection takes us through the Cross, for there can be no
Resurrection and Life apart from crucifixion and death.
