RESURRECTION

We now come to the third major step of Christ: His resurrection. After His death, Christ was resurrected. What was the divine thought in this? God had planned that all creation should both be created through Christ and cohere in Him (Col. 1:16-17). Christ must be the means of creating and the center of the creation. Then, at a certain point, God’s thought was to bring all things to an end by putting them to death in Christ. But that is not the end, because God in Christ could never be conquered by death. Death can never hold Christ (Acts 2:24), for He is the fountain of life. He went into death willingly, and He stepped out of death boldly. Even as all things were created through Christ and brought to death in Christ, so now all things are resurrected in Christ. This is the divine thought: to create all things in Christ, to bring all things to death in Christ, and then to resurrect all things in Christ.

How should we deal with people? It is simply by taking Christ as life. Christ is risen to be our life. May we realize this positively in our daily lives. Listening or reading is not enough. We must put this into practice. We must take Christ as our life for every occasion. How very real and practical it is. If we do this, we will very quickly be filled with Him in our spirit (Eph. 5:18). We will be full of Christ, and our whole being will be saturated with the Spirit. The Lord is seeking this kind of people today. To live by Christ is true spirituality.
