The first is, “How is that which is dead within me any different from anything else that God has raised from the dead?” And the second question would be, “How is His passion to raise the dead within me any different than His passion to raise anything else that He has raised?” And the answer to both is “It is not and it is not.” So, am I ready to be raised or am I not?”
