II Corinthians 4:11

We may have two lives. First, our own life inherited from our parents and given us by our Creator. That life has some value, but how soon it fails and feels the forces of disease, decay, and approaching death!

But we may have another life, or rather the Life of Another—the life also of Jesus. How much more valuable and transcendent is this life! It has no weakness nor decay nor limitation. Jesus has a physical life as real as ours, and infinitely greater; He is an actual man with a glorified body and a human spirit. And that life belongs to us just as much as the precious blood He shed and the spiritual grace He bestows. He has risen and ascended as our living Head, and He is ever saying to us, “Because I live, ye shall live also” (John 14:19 KJV).
