P. 28
we've passed until it happens, but we can
lay down and rest peacefully because we
know that these things are true. I am
identified with Christ’s death, burial,
resurrection and ascension and even His
seating. And then in Colossians 3, when He
shall appear, we shall appear with Him in
glory. So we have that closeness. That's
why Paul says in Galatians 2:20, “I am
crucified with Christ” — in other words, Paul
is saying, “I’m dead” — “nevertheless I live”
— he said, “but I’m alive.” Figure that out.
You can’t figure it out unless you look at it
from a spiritual point of view. Paul said, “yet
not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith
