Leader: What further advantage do Christians receive by the cross?
People: “Through Christ’s death our old selves are crucified, put to
death, and buried with him, so that the evil desires of the flesh may
no longer rule us, but that instead we may dedicate ourselves as an
offering of gratitude to Him.”
Leader: How does Christ’s resurrection benefit us?
People: First, by His resurrection He has overcome death, so that He
might make us share in the righteousness He won for us by His
death. Second, by his power we too are already now resurrected
to a new life. Third, Christ’s resurrection is a guarantee of our
glorious resurrection.
