Crucified, Buried and Risen Again!

Here is the problem. We were born sinners. How then 

can we cut off our sinful heredity? When Jesus was crucified 

on the cross, He was crucified as the last Adam. All that 

was in the first Adam was gathered up and done away with

 in Him. Our union with Him as the second Adam begins

 in resurrection and ends in Eternity. He arose as the Head 

of a new race of men. It is in His resurrection that He stands 

forth as the second Man, and there we were included.

“For if we have been planted together

in the likeness of his death,

we shall be also

in the likeness of His resurrection.” 

Romans 6:5

The cross is thus the mighty act of God which translates 

us from Adam to Christ; from the kingdom of darkness 

into the kingdom of His dear Son.

Now when I get up in the morning, by whose life do I live the Christian life?
