Q. Why the focus with the death rather than the resurrection?





Christ within us.
A. Because first things first, we must first die with Him in order to experience His resurrection. So many are laying claim to His death and resurrection without ever dying... and in all reality they feel as if they never really received anything. They have no identification with His death in their own life. In order to lay claim to His resurrection we must be willing to loose ourselves. Walk the rugged road down... Those who truly love Him will sacrifice their life and choose to live as Jesus did here on the earth. Many times the focal point will be turned onto others; doing for others rather than for me, but a true saint will always turn their focus on the Person, that being Jesus. Very few today know anything about loyalty to Jesus. Ask God to make incarnation a reality in you, and you will know what it means to receive something from God. Once you become born again, you will clearly know it!!! Yet, we must be willing to make room for Him in our heart.
The question lies in your lap, are you willing to allow Jesus to completely take over and run the show?

Instead of [I]need to make a living, are you willing to allow [Jesus] to make a living for you? Control is the deciding factor for most people. Too many, the idea sounds great but when it comes right down to it we aren't satisfied with sitting back and taking orders. Are you willing to take orders even in the areas that you're comfortable dealing with yourself?

We must throw all commonsense out the window (just as Joshua needed to, in order to walk around the walls of Jericho) God's ways will not settle well with our understanding, nor should they.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
Lean not on your own understanding,
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6
