That I May Know Him and The Power of His Resurrection

As we are coming upon celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I started thinking about what Paul said in Phil. 3:10

“That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto His death.”

I encourage you to let that be the cry of your heart this Easter weekend. Don’t let your celebration be in vain. Paul walked in such a deep spiritual knowledge and I find it interesting that the three things that seemed to be the most important was Knowing Him, the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings.

So many don’t want to stand up for what is right, they don’t want to share in any affliction. They seek power but not the Lord, they run from conflicts of faith and righteousness.

What an amazing priviledge we have to share in His sufferings. What an awesome priviledge to have the resurrection power inside of us. In Romans 8:11 tells us that the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is in us. Praise God! We have the power to rise above doube, fear, compormise and worldy mindsets! We must never let that lay dormant in us, the world is looking for Christians to be the people who allow the living God to have His way. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is in us! We don’t have to be like everyone else, we can be like Christ!
Which leads into the first thing Paul mentioned… “That I may know Him”. That word know is not a knowledge that you get by reading history books. This knowing is an intimate knowing that ONLY comes by spending time with the Lord, getting into the Word. There is no greater privilege we have than to have the opportunity to know Him.

Don’t let that privilege slip by. Make it is point to die to yourself a little more than before, to spend time with Him and know Him intimately. To walk boldly in the power of Jesus Christ, changing lives around you wherever you go.

May you all have a great Resurrection Sunday.
