For the Christian, the crucifixion is the center of the whole, the event that gives voice to a broken, dark, and dying world, and the paradoxical suggestion of life somehow within it. The Christian marks steeples and graves in memory of the crucifixion. The death of Christ is the occasion that makes way for the last to be first, the guilty to be pardoned, the creature united again to its creator. The cross of Christ is the mysterious sign that stands in the center of the history of the world and changes everything. "I have been crucified with Christ," said one of his transformed followers. "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me."

Great verse ...I have been crucified with Christ...it is no longer I that lives but Christ who lives in me...

But how many of us can say this like Paul did? This is the life that God wants us to live - for mankind to see/ relate to me and get the sense that I am truly living the life of Christ.

Prayer! FATHER help us to understand the death of JESUS CHRIST on the cross of Calvary and be buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Amen..............!!!
