Identified with Calvary

Paul said, "I am crucified with Christ." (Gal. 2:10)

This must be an experience in the life of every Christian.  There must be identification with Christ in His death on Calvary.  There must be a realization that what He did on that cross was for me and is meaningful for me now.

"I" must be crucified. It is past and yet present.  It was done for me and yet now must be done in me.  Self must go on that cross of Calvary.

I must reckon myself to be "dead indeed unto sin but alive unto God."  There will be no living, real witness to the living Christ without some sense of that death. "I am crucified with Christ."


Can you say that, for yourself?
