One aspect of this passage that didn't strike me until today was the idea that we were baptized into death. Sure it is Christ's death, and without it you wouldn't have the resurrection, but it is still death. Death is a scary and usually painful thing. Our baptism, either spiritual or physical(there is debate on this), ties us to that. So if we know that we are tied to Christs death shouldn't that be a freeing thing?
Sometimes I find the thought of death to be very peaceful. I know where I'm going and I feel secure in that. I feel sorry for those who will mourn me, but I'm not going to have any more pain or worries. No more feelings of rejection. No more chemicals that aren't quite working the way they should.
Just a series of rambling thoughts today.
