That I May Know Him!
By christon | November 19, 2008
Yes, all the things I once thought were so important are gone from my life.
Compared to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand,
everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificant–dog dung.
I’ve dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ and be embraced by him.
I didn’t want some petty, inferior brand of righteousness that comes
from keeping a list of rules when I could get the robust kind that comes from
trusting Christ–God’s righteousness.
I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally,
experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering,
and go all the way with him to death itself. If there was any way to get in
on the resurrection from the dead, I wanted to do it.
Philippians 3:8-11
