Arrange Lewis’s account of a person’s participation in the divine life.
Answer

Explanation
### The order
1. Christ enters human life: this establishes the divine and human identity central to Lewis’s account.
2. Christ undergoes surrender, suffering, and death: these are the human experiences through which his obedience is expressed.
3. Christ rises: Lewis treats the resurrection as the victory that makes new life possible.
4. People participate through union with Christ: the new life is received rather than achieved independently.
### Remember
Lewis’s sequence runs from incarnation through death and resurrection to participation in Christ’s life.
