No small thing

The cross was an instrument of death. No one came down off the cross alive.

To say "I have been crucified with Christ" (Gal 2:20) and "I died" (Rom 7:9) is no small thing!

Resurrection from the dead means Life. No one who has been made alive again keeps going back to be crucified over and over again.

To say "you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God" (Col 2:12) and "the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you" (Rom 8:11) is no small thing!
