OUR DEATH WAS HIS DEATH

It is written in scripture that not a sparrow falls to the ground without the Father in heaven. And it continues on to say that…

“…the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:30-31)

When Christ hung on the cross, He “tasted death for every man”. That means that our death in this life has already been “shared” WITH Christ over 2,000 years ago! It’s as though (spiritually speaking) we were IN Christ as He fulfilled the will of His Father!

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” (Hebrews 2:14-15)

But if our death was His death on the cross, then His resurrection is OUR resurrection!

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1Corinthians 15:51-52)

“For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.” (1Corinthians 15:53-54)

So…

“…if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” (Romans 8:10-11)

SELAH!
