7.  In order therefore that we might learn, that whatsoever things Christ endured, for us and for our salvation This clause is contained in the Nicene Creed, and in that which was offered to the Council by Eusebius as the ancient Creed of Cæsarea.  It probably formed part of the Creed of Jerusalem, though it is not found in the titles of the Lectures, nor specially explained. He suffered them in reality and not in appearance, and that we also are made partakers of His sufferings, Paul cried with all exactness of truth, For if we have been planted together with the likeness of His death, we shall be also with the likeness of His resurrection.  Well has he said, planted together Ib. vi. 5.  Cyril gives the phrase “planted together” a special application to those who had been baptized in the same place where Christ had been buried..  For since the true Vine was planted in this place, we also by partaking in the Baptism of death have been planted together with Him.  And fix thy mind with much attention on the words of the Apostle.  He said not, “For if we have been planted together with His death,” but, with the likeness of His death.  For in Christ’s case there was death in reality, for His soul was really separated from His body, and real burial, for His holy body was wrapt in pure linen; and everything happened really to Him; but in your case there was only a likeness of death and sufferings, whereas of salvation there was not a likeness but a reality.
