Some Christians cocoon themselves in the death of Christ, using the cross as some kind of talisman from all evil. This is their cop out of a life spent in rigorous service entering the brokenness of life, living in a resurrected Lord who leads the way in triumph through the gates of hell on earth, bringing captives with Him to new life.
It is we who have to die daily as we follow in His steps, but in growing confidence of His love and goodness towards us and those we seek to rescue. We know His resurrecting power at work within ourselves and have confidence to ask for yet more dangerous assignments in the battle for His Kingdom on earth.
Ephesians 3 vs 14 - 21.
