What are the defining features of the life of “taking up your cross?” (Matt 16:24-26). How could the promise of resurrection enable us to live a life like that?
Can you summarize how Collin explained baptism for the dead in verse 29? How does this understanding fit into Paul’s argument in this chapter?
