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.
