resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffer­ ings. Knowing Christ in this way is the result of gaining Him and being found in Him. Our natural mind cannot touch the depths of what it means "to know Him and the power of His resurrection."

At this juncture we need to ask an important question: Where is Jesus Christ today? In this booklet I would answer by saying that Christ is in resurrection. No doubt, on the one hand, Christ is in the heavens and, on the other hand, He is in us. However, I want to emphasize the marvel­ ous fact that Christ today is in resurrection. One day, as the One who existed in eternity, Christ became a man by incarnation. Eventually, He was crucified and buried. Through death He entered into another realm, the realm of resurrection. In His preexistence, Christ was God and was with God in eternity; by incarnation He became a man in the flesh; and then, through crucifixion and burial, He entered into resurrection. Have you ever heard that Christ is now in resurrec­ tion? On the day of His resurrection angels told the women that Christ could not be found in the tomb, for He had risen from the dead (Luke 24:1-6). This indicates that Christ is in resur­ rection.
