[soc.religion.christian] His Death & Resurrection - In search of Scripture

davidbu@loowit.wr.tek.com (David E. Buxton) (01/24/91)

I  am  searching  for  texts  that  establish  a  scriptural
template  for  remembering the death and resurrection of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Here are  the  texts  that  I
have found to date:

     "I affirm, by the boasting  in  you  which  I  have  in
     Christ  Jesus  our  Lord, I die daily. "--  1 Cor 15:31
     (NKJ)

     "Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin  live  any
     longer in it?  Or do you not know that as many of us as
     were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into  His
     death?   Therefore we were buried with Him through bap-
     tism into death, that just as Christ  was  raised  from
     the  dead  by  the glory of the Father, even so we also
     should walk in newness of life.  For if  we  have  been
     united together in the likeness of His death, certainly
     we also shall be in the likeness of His  resurrection,"
     --  Rom 6:1-5  (NKJ)

     "buried with Him in baptism, in  which  you  also  were
     raised  with  Him  through faith in the working of God,
     who raised Him from the dead."  --  Col 2:12  (NKJ)

     "For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup,
     you  proclaim  the  Lord's death till He comes."  --  1
     Cor 11:26  (NKJ)

If you know of any more texts please email and/or  post your
findings.

Thanks,

Dave
