"That
I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;" (Philippians 3: 10)
In today's verse, the apostle Paul mentions the goal of his spiritual life. That is, he says that his purpose is to become like Christ in his death and become somehow worthy of resurrection by knowing how Christ's sufferings have united him with him and the power of his resurrection.
Here, Christ's death means our
death to sin. Resurrection means turning away from sin. "For
to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both
of the dead and living." (Romans 14: 9) Here the words death
and resurrection are said in a spiritual sense. He is the Lord of the dead and
the living in the spiritual life. That is why it is necessary for those who are
dead in spirit to come alive and know them.
Paul, who says that he is
trying to attain the power of Christ, but has not yet grasped it, says what he
does to reach it; - “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended:
but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching
forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize
of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3: 13, 14)
Yes, our spiritual journey
is a continuous journey. In that journey, we should be those who forget the
things that are behind and seek the things that are ahead, as the Apostle Paul
says.
Yes beloved, we must forget
the deeds of the old sinful life that we lived before we started the spiritual
life. Let them go. We must forget them altogether and pursue only the glorious
prize of Christ. He says that he continues towards the goal for the goal of the
supreme calling that God has called in Christ Jesus.
If we are chosen in the
spiritual life, we will be like this. Otherwise, we will be soulless, simply
praying to fulfill worldly desires. That is why the apostle Paul says, "Let
us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be
otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you." (Philippians 3: 15)
Therefore, beloved, let us
endeavor to somehow know Him and the power of His resurrection and the unity of
His sufferings, and to become worthy of His death, and yet to be raised from
the dead.
