nce of death that we can pass upon it? Back to the Cross again! It is there, within our reach. "Our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin; for he that is dead is freed from sin." Death to Sin is the Way Out into a Life of Holiness. The Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ shuts off the life of sin; like the silted-up channel, it stands a blessed invisible barrier between us and sinning, as we "reckon" it there: that is, hold it there by faith and will. And His open grave is the open way into a life, wherein our rising powers can develop into all their spring vigour. The sap--the will--the "ego"--is withdrawn from the former existence, its aims and desires, and is sent into the new. It is given over to the other side: we hold to it that this is now our life, the only one that has the right to be. We reckon ourselves dead to the old; we reckon ourselves alive to the new; "putting off" the former, "putting on" the latter. LVES AND THE OLD NATURE WHERE IS THE SENTENCE OF DEATH THAT WE CAN PASS UPON IT BACK TO THE CROSS AGAIN IT IS THERE WITHIN OUR REACH OUR OLD MAN IS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM THAT THE BODY OF SIN MIGHT BE DESTROYED THAT HENCEFORTH WE SHOULD NOT SERVE SIN FOR HE THAT IS DEAD IS FREED FROM SIN DEATH TO SIN IS THE WAY OUT INTO A LIFE OF HOLINESS THE CROSS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SHUTS OFF THE LIFE OF SIN LIKE THE SILTED UP CHANNEL IT STANDS A BLESSED INVISIBLE BARRIER BETWEEN US AND SINNING AS WE RECKON IT THERE THAT IS HOLD IT THERE BY FAITH AND WILL AND HIS OPEN GRAVE IS THE OPEN WAY INTO A LIFE WHEREIN OUR RISING POWERS CAN DEVELOP INTO ALL THEIR SPRING VIGOR THE SAP THE WILL THE EGO IS WITHDRAWN FROM THE FORMER EXISTENCE IT AIMS AND DESIRES AND IS SENT INTO THE NEW IT IS GIVEN OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE WE HOLD TO IT THAT THIS IS NOW OUR LIFE THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THE RIGHT TO BE WE RECKON OURSELVES DEAD TO THE OLD WE RECKON OURSELVES ALIVE TO THE NEW PUTTING OFF THE FORMER PUTTING ON THE LATTER
