Unlike Jesus our loved ones is not going to see us walking around after we’ve died and be alright about it without freaking out. We take it very calm and casually like Jesus dying and resurrecting back to life is normal. After all these years this thought still petrify me. Jesus was a ghost as we understand it today. If someone we know dies and we see them walking around we know it’s a ghost, they are supposed to be dead and stay dead.
“The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” the declares scriptures. We must be born again in spirit by being baptized. Unlike Jesus we don’t have to die on a cross. The only death is our old way of being, repent and be baptized. Jesus death was to purge and wash our sins away. The flesh through its weakness concealed sin in darkness. But Jesus life, death and resurrection gave us the victory over sin through the power of his light which penetrated the darkness. He was the manifestation of the will of God, Kingdom that came here on earth and the kingdom rules(governing laws) for that which is of the spirit of the most High God. Is the flesh sin? No but it’s weak. Jesus being in the flesh, born of spirit transformed the weakness into giving the spirit victory over the flesh. The spirit is no longer has to be at war with the flesh, the flesh is now working together with the spirit. It’s called balance and unity. The middle man of destruction( devil) can no longer operate to divid them both. Jesus has now became the middle man to unify them through his death.
Like Adam whom God had created before the fall was one with the Lord, now with the understanding of the life and death of Jesus all humanity must try to live accordingly.
