Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
"If we died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him." Jesus died on the cross, but was brought back to eternal life. We can receive that same blessing if only we die with Jesus. What does it mean to die with Jesus? It means we give up ourselves, our hopes, dreams, desires, way of life, etc. We give our entire selves over to Jesus. We are to die to Jesus. In doing so we unite with him, and in uniting with him we receive his blessings: resurrection, eternal life, and a great many other things. In short, if we give ourselves to Jesus we will share in his blessings. God bless you.
Pastor Josh
