\u2026we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection.<\/p>\n

The word translated united<\/em> in Romans 6:5a above is \u03c3\u1f7b\u03bc\u03c6\u03c5\u03c4\u03bf\u03b9<\/a> (a form of \u03c3\u03cd\u03bc\u03c6\u03c5\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>).\u00a0 It is only used once in the Bible, but is a compound of a form of \u03c3\u03cd\u03bd<\/a> (a primary preposition denoting union<\/em>) and \u03c6\u03cd\u03c9<\/a> (to germinate<\/em> or grow<\/em>).\u00a0 I am reminded of Jesus when He was told that Greeks wanted to see him (John 12:23-28 NET).<\/p>\n

Jesus replied<\/a>, \u201cThe time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified [Table<\/a>]<\/em>. \u00a0I tell you the solemn truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains by itself alone (\u03bc\u03cc\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>).\u00a0<\/em> But if it dies, it produces much grain (\u03ba\u03b1\u03c1\u03c0\u1f78\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03ba\u03b1\u03c1\u03c0\u03cc\u03c2<\/a>; literally “fruit”). \u00a0<\/em>The one who loves his life destroys<\/a> it, and the one who hates his life in this world guards it for eternal life [Table<\/a>]<\/em>. \u00a0If<\/a> anyone wants to serve me, he must follow me, and where I am, my servant will be too.\u00a0 If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him [Table<\/a>]<\/em>. \u00a0Now my soul is greatly distressed.\u00a0 And what should I say? \u2018Father, deliver me from this hour\u2019?\u00a0 No, but for this very reason I have come to this hour. \u00a0Father, glorify your name.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These are encouraging words to follow Jesus in this death, where following is simply believing.\u00a0 For what can a kernel of wheat buried in the dirt do, but believe?\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t know how to germinate or grow.\u00a0 We know<\/em> (\u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u1f7d\u03c3\u03ba\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2<\/a>, a form of \u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u03ce\u03c3\u03ba\u03c9<\/a>) that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us<\/em>, Paul continued, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. \u00a0(For someone who has died<\/em> [\u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03b8\u03b1\u03bd\u1f7c\u03bd<\/a>, another form of \u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03b8\u03bd\u03ae\u03c3\u03ba\u03c9<\/a>] has been freed from sin.)<\/em>6<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 Here is a second value for this death, and perhaps even a necessity.\u00a0 But I only knew<\/em> this at first by faith.\u00a0 This particular kernel of wheat buried in the dirt was still walking around, still working<\/em><\/a>,7<\/sup><\/a> that is to say still doing some (perhaps many) of the sinful things he did before he was a dead kernel of wheat buried in the dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
