2 Kings 13-14, John 2
21 Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man's body into Elisha's tomb. When the body touched Elisha's bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet.
Maybe this is stretching it too far, but Jesus compared John the Baptist to Elijah, and Elisha came after Elijah performing many similar miracles as Jesus. So I was thinking about how we can experience Christ's death as we are baptized and choose to die to our fleshly desires and experience His resurrection life (e.g., Luke 9:23-24, Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 5:22-25, Phil. 3:7-14, etc.).
Heavenly Father, please empower me by your Holy Spirit to crucify the flesh and experience Christ's resurrection. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
