8pm, Saturday. Adam is tired of noise and escapes out the front door for a walk down the seemingly never-ending Woodbury Road. The clouds hung so low they were kissing the pavement. Hours pass and the aroma of dying evening fires fill the air and Adam sits down to soak in the atmosphere.
That's when Jesus Christ killed him. Adam was at rest. He leaned against the side of an abandoned shed on the corner of an obscure intersection and that's when Jesus Christ dawned on him. Adam Neufeld is no longer alive. Jesus Christ killed him. The body of Adam Neufeld's is no longer his, it's Jesus Christ's. Whatever is true of Jesus Christ is now true of Adam. They say Jesus is loving, compassionate, strong, patient, wise. Those are all true of Adam. Jesus killed Adam, and took all the ugliness along with him. And now Adam has the Mind of Christ. Jesus Christ owns Adam. Adam is His vessel, His slave. Adam is dead, he no longer lives.
However, sometimes the ghost of Adam Neufeld will try to re-aquire the body which was once his. These are dangerous times. No good can come of Adam when he is possessed of Adam's ghost. The ghost must constantly be put off, whispered away... prayed against. Because Adam no longer has right to Adam's body.
To live is Christ.
To die is gain. (Because then we are in God's presence 100% of the time... for eternity!)
