10/05 Philippians 3:8-11
8 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ.[a] For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith. 10 I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, 11 so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!
SHORT
We have a short time here on earth.
One day soon we will be with Jesus.
Right now we will stand for Jesus in the power of the Lord.
Our suffering is painful and difficult, but it is for a very short time.
Then we will be with Jesus in eternity.
We will see Him as He is-Lord, Creator, Savior, and Sustainer.
Hallelujah, Jesus is Lord.
