In the Spirit's Power - William W. Prescott

death of self; bearing the cross means dying daily,
self-death, keeping self dead. That is crucifixion,
the very first letter of the cross, but I want to tell
you that there is another letter.
R.--Resurrection.--After crucifixion there is a
rising again. “For if we have been planted together
in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the
likeness of His resurrection.” Rom. 6:5. I like the
Revised Version of this verse, which reads, “For if
we have been united with the likeness of His
crucifixion, we shall be also with the likeness of
His resurrection.” (margin.) If you spell C, you can
spell R. For “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.” Christ lived this
life on the earth for our sakes; He was crucified for
our offences, but He was raised again for our
justification. We do not need to mourn; for He who
made heaven and earth is our Saviour, and He lives
to-day for us. He said when He was here, “All
power upon heaven and earth is given unto Me.”
He gained this power by His death, and when He
was raised up, He was raised up to newness of life.
