Colossians 2:12
Buried with him in baptism. See PNT "Ro 6:4". Paul teaches
that we must re-enact the tragedy of the cross: The agony of the
garden, the complete submission to the divine will, confession of
Christ, crucifixion (Galatians 2:20 Ro 6:5), death (Romans 6:3), burial
(Romans 6:4 Col 2:12), rising with Christ (Romans 6:5 Col 2:12 3:1);
nay, we must ascend and reign with him (Ephesians 2:4-6). Let it be
noted that "the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh"
(Colossians 2:11) is associated with baptism ( 1:13).
Wherein also ye are risen with [him]. "Raised with him" (Revised
Version). We are raised from the burial as he was raised from the
grave, and we rise to a new life "through faith of the operation of
God".
