Brunner: nothing for us

Monday, March 21, 2011
Meditation:
    Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
    —Romans 6:8-10 (NIV)
Quotation:
    The death of Jesus Christ is for us nothing if we have not died with him; the resurrection of our Lord is for us nothing if we have not been raised with him.
    ... Emil Brunner (1889-1966), I Believe in the Living God: sermons on the Apostles’ Creed, Westminster Press, 1960, p. 103 (see the book)
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, I cannot live any more for sin. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
