"Buried with Christ in death, raised to new life in Him," the refrain is spoken with each baptism. Although each of us who were baptized know the symbolism - we die to self as Christ died for us, we are raised to life in Christ just as Christ was raised from the dead and now sits at the right hand of the Father - how hard it is to grow in this business of dying to self and living in Christ! (see Romans 6:3-4)
