Description
This short reflection (684 words) considers what Paul meant by being “crucified with Christ” It associates the crucifixion of Jesus’s body with his total surrender of both his body and his will to his heavenly father as demonstrated by Jesus in Gethsemane Fortunately we do not have to be crucified (though many early Christians were) to enter a long term living relationship with God i.e. to be “saved”. The crucial thing is the surrender of our whole self, body and soul, to father God as Jesus did. When we do that (the total surrender), it can be thought of as being crucified with Christ. Consequently, we are to live our lives in the light of this.
