(Rom 6:3) “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?” This is speaking of a spiritual event we portray by a physical observance. Baptize: immerse; the saved are immersed into Christ Jesus. Thus His death became our death; His burial, our burial; and His resurrection our resurrection. We live in and through Him. Hard to get the mind around? That makes it no less a spiritual truth.
