Those who live with Christ die daily to their own will. Christ in us gives us over to death so that he can live within us. Thus our inner dying grows to meet that death from without. Christians receive their own death in this way, and in this way our physical death very truly becomes not the end but rather the fulfillment of our life with Jesus Christ. Here we enter into community with the One who at his own death was able to say, “It is finished.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Eric Metaxas" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/eric-metaxas/in-life-with-jesus-christ-death-as-a-general-fate-approaching-us-from/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/27a/eric-metaxas-1651_christianity_in-life-with-jesus-christ-death-as-a-gen_853472.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/27a/eric-metaxas-1651_christianity_in-life-with-jesus-christ-death-as-a-gen_853472.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/27a/eric-metaxas-1651_christianity_in-life-with-jesus-christ-death-as-a-gen_853472.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“In life with Jesus Christ, death as a general fate approaching us from without is confronted by death from…” — Eric Metaxas", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 15, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“The victory of his suffering love upon the Cross does not merely set me an example, showing me what I myself may achieve if by my own efforts I imitate him.
