Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
"I’m so glad that the Apostle Paul didn’t say that Jesus ‘gave Himself for us.’
He says that He ‘gave Himself for me.’
We can echo that: ‘I have been crucified with Christ. ... .
No, in this life I will never be perfect.
I can live with that tension providing that I understand my need to come to Him regularly and say, ‘I failed You today.
I’m sorry; may the blood cleanse me.
I’m going on with You.
Forgive me.
I’m back with You once more in the fight for purity and holiness of life.’
Knowing Jesus Christ and being identified with Him in His death means that forever we live under the shadow of the Cross.
It means that He will escort us through the turbulence of a fallen world.
The martyrs of the 20th century showed us how it is done.
Our sisters and brothers in those societies where the preaching of Christ is forbidden are carrying the torch today.
Let’s learn this truth afresh...
‘In Christ I died. And in Christ I am alive -- forever!’"
