I want to know Christ and the power of
His resurrection. Philippians 3:10
Resurrection
always means that we are outside of the world. After His resurrection the Lord
Jesus never again appeared to the world. He never manifested Himself personally
to the world after His resurrection. The resurrection means that He had passed,
in that sense, out from the world and stood apart, and His power over the world
was His apartness from it. His ability to deal with the situation is because He
is no longer involved in the situation. Resurrection Life means that we are
outside of the world spiritually, and in a superior position....
We have
to learn how to live by the power of Christ's resurrection, so that the death
around us is not able so to impinge upon us as to bring us into its grip.
Resurrection union with the Lord Jesus means that we are not involved in the
death that is all around us. We can move in scenes of death and not be touched
by death. This is a very important lesson to learn, how to be in Life in the
midst of death.... In the resurrection of the Lord Jesus we are delivered from
the curse – that is, from the death which works vanity – and we have been
brought into the place where we can go right through to the Divine end, the
full realization that vanity no longer rests upon us. We are no longer held up;
no longer in the position that we live and come to a point and that is the end,
and we can go no further. We can go right on now! The fruit of Life can come to
perfection because the power of death in the curse has been canceled in the
power of His resurrection. The condemnation has been removed.
