Bible Question: How does "carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus" manifest His life in the believer? (Is the cross of Christ given appropriate attention after one's conversion? see also 1 Cor 1:18 Comments?) |
Bible Answer: mommapbs, Good question! As I've studied this, there seems to be the sense that our body is constantly exposed to the same putting to death Christ suffered. If we compare with 1 Cor. 15:31 and Romans 8:36, we may get a sense of the meaning: "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily." "As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." Spurgeon commented thus, "The apostles were always ready to die for Christ, and therefore they were enabled to live so much like Christ, imitating his life, and being prepared to follow him even to the death whenever he called them to do so." This is probably one of the lesser understood verses and one not discussed much here on the Forum. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
