you can’t share in resurrection power unless you are willing to participate in the pain.
phil 3:
Know = more than information.
It means sharing in a reality of the relationship.
Paul wants to know Christ, and participate in the resurrection and even the sufferings.
Paul’s intent is not to suffer without purpose, but to suffer for the sake of the growth of the Church.
3. Relentlessly Pursue Christ and Life in Him (12-14)
take stock of your present growth
press on towards maturity
forget what is behind
strain towards the prize
take stock of your present growth (i haven’t yet obtained it)
press on towards maturity (ESV - to possess)
forget what is behind (stop looking in the rear view mirror…our best days are still ahead)
strain towards the prize (exert energy towards this)
Conclusion:
Hard work is part of reality.
The question is what you will work to obtain.
Paul’s work to achieve his life before Christ was arduous
Suffering is part of human existence.
The question is not whether you will suffer, but will you suffer with a purpose?
To see if shape you and others into the image of Christ.
