" I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. " Gal.2:20
Have you ever considered what the Apostle Paul meant by this phrase ? Do you realize his statement applies to you ? But have you ever asked; how were we crucified with Christ, when we weren't physically there as He was crucified ? We didn't even look upon Him, as He shed His precious blood for us.
If this is true of us ( that we were crucified with Christ ), when we weren't even there, is it also true of the O.T. saints as well ? Who also weren't there ? Just how much did the O.T. saints know ( or understand ) about the promised Messiah? Was their faith in Him, and what they understood He would accomplish by His death; or were they saved some other way?
Do you know where to find the first mention of the suffering Messiah ?
