Romans 6:4
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”
πατήρ
When Jesus teaches His disciples to pray, He begins with the most radical word imaginable — Father. In the ancient world, approaching God as Father was almost unthinkable. Jesus opens the door and says: this is how you come. Not as a subject before a king. As a child before a Father who already knows what you need.
Χριστός
Christ

Χριστός
The one set apart and equipped for a specific task. Oil was poured on kings, priests and prophets in the Old Testament — the anointing meant: this one is chosen, this one is sent. Jesus stands up in Nazareth and reads Isaiah — and then says: this is Me. I am the one sent.

ἀνάστασις
Resurrection
Expand ↓
ἀνάστασις
Ana — up again. Stasis — standing. To stand up again. Jesus does not say He will cause resurrection. He says I am the resurrection. He is not a mechanism through which life returns — He is the source of life itself. Wherever He is, death cannot have the final word.
