Romans 6:5-9
I'm not usually a fan of Paul's technique of saying the same thing 3 times in 5 straight verses. By the time I got to the end, I was like, "okay, I get it already, 'alike in Christ's death, alike in Christ's resurrection'...wait a minute...now I get it!" If our life with Christ comes through our death with Christ, what a sweet death that is! No doubt, dying to sin and dying to self on a daily basis can be tough. However, anything that causes me to die "in the likeness of His death" should NOT be seen as a somber end, but a glorious opportunity to "live with Him." I guess sometimes our finite minds need to hear something 3 times to really grasp it--especially when it's something as counterintuitive as rejoicing in our own death!
