To Know Christ
by Keith Brenton
05/27/2008 - It is in the context of refuting circumcision and checking off laws kept that Paul says:
"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead." ~ Philippians 3:10-11
In any context, though, he states a worthy goal and ambition and hope. Still, he recognizes that it is not enough to know Christ and the power of his resurrection without knowing also the "fellowship of sharing in his sufferings."
If we share in His, will He not share in ours?
