This is the theology of full surrender compressed into one extraordinary verse. The old self — the striving, the self-protecting, the self-promoting self — has been crucified. What remains is not emptiness but fullness: Christ living in and through you. Surrender is not self-erasure; it is self-exchange. You give your small, limited self and receive the life of Christ in return. Live this week from that identity: not I, but Christ in me.
