The Believers Were Buried with Him Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me… Rom 6:4 We have been buried therefore with Him through baptism into His death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we might walk in newness of life Colo 2:12 Buried together with Him in baptism, in which also you were raised together with Him through the faith of the operation of God, who raised Him from the dead When the Lord Jesus was buried, He was buried as the all- inclusive One. If we know the truth in the Scriptures, we shall realize that we were buried with Him. With the Lord Jesus we were crucified and then we were also buried with Him. As those who have been crucified and buried with the Lord Jesus, we have been terminated; we have been brought to a full end. When a person is buried that is the end of him. Burial is a final termination. As fallen ones, those in the flesh and of the old creation, we have been crucified and buried. We have been buried with the Lord and we have been terminated in His burial. In His tomb all problems are gone because sin, sins, the flesh the old man, Satan, the world, the old creation, and the ordinances have been dealt with. After dying such an all- inclusive death, the Lord was buried in a peaceful and honorable way. We need to realize that we have been crucified with Christ. However, regarding this we still may have a struggle. But once we see that we have also been buried with Christ, there is no longer any struggle. Burial brings about a peaceful situation. Those who are buried do not struggle any longer. Since we have been buried with Christ, we should simply remain at rest
