What does he mean? What is the talisman enfolded in these simple words? If to Paul to live was Christ, then what had become of Paul? Was Paul no more? Nay, Paul still lived, and yet no longer he, but Christ in him (Gal. 2:20). Thus do we get a glimpse at what he means. He means that in him Christ lived and reigned. He means Christ controlling, Christ speaking (2 Cor. 13:3), Christ working (Col. 1:29); and Paul dying (1 Cor. 15:31), Paul yielding (Rom. 6:13), Paul decreasing (John 3:30), till Paul was nothing (2 Cor. 12:11), and Christ was All In All.
