KNOWING CHRIST (7)

 KNOWING CHRIST (7)

TEXT: “Yet for me, I count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ; and be found in Him, not having my own righteous which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to His death …” Philippians 3:8-10

The above text was written by the Apostle Paul while he was in prison. He had met Christ in a life transforming experience on the Damascus Road. He had served Him in sharing the Gospel with Jews and Gentiles. He had suffered tremendously for the cause of Christ. He knew Him but wanted to know him better. Deeper. More intimately. He gave up everything for the cause and glory of Christ. He was a faithful servant to the very end of his life. And yet, we find him longing and yearning to know Him better and deeper.

Are you content with your present knowledge of Christ?

Do you want to know Him better? More deeply?

Is there a desire in you to give up everything for that knowledge?

Maybe a TV show? Leisure trip? Few hours? Some family time?

Is there a holy dissatisfaction in your soul for Christ?

Do you languish in your soul between the world, flesh, devil and Christ?

Jesus Christ is our salvation.

He is our peace.

He is our righteousness.

He is our wisdom.

He is our strength.

He is our redemption.

Be blessed by watching this young man? Do you know this Jesus of the Scriptures?
