Section 9

with the Lord Jesus, we have been terminated; we have been brought to a full end. When a person is buried, that is the end of him. Burial is a final termination. As fallen ones, those in the flesh and of the old creation, we have been crucified and buried. We have been buried with the Lord, and we have been terminated in His burial. In His tomb all problems are gone be cause sin, sins, the flesh, the old man, Satan, the world, the old creation, and the ordinances have been dealt with. After dying such an all- inclusive death, the Lord was buried in a peace ful and honorable way.

We need to realize that we have been cru cified with Christ. However, regarding this we still may have a struggle. But once we see that we have also been buried with Christ, there is no longer any struggle. Burial brings about a peaceful situation. Those who are buried do not struggle any longer. Since we have been buried with Christ, we should simply remain at rest.

Luke 23:54-56 says, "And it was a day of prep aration, and the Sabbath was dawning. And the women who had come together with Him out of Galilee followed after, and beheld the tomb and how His body was placed. And they re turned and prepared spices and ointment. And

on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment." This was a real rest to all God's chosen people and even to the entire universe; the Savior had fully accomplished redemption for them all.
