…that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
Philippians 3:10-11

A wise man will do whatever it takes – by ‘any means possible’ – to have a joyful eternity. A God-filled forever.

Anything includes sharing in suffering, becoming like Jesus.

And we do that by taking on his righteousness.
And we do that because Jesus made a way for us in his death.

That is the power of his resurrection.

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith-
Philippians 3:9

Here is the gospel: It’s not your righteousness, it’s Christ.

We will be righteous, one day, through Christ, but that isn’t what saves us.

We have faith in Jesus Christ who was perfectly righteous – that’s what saves us.

That is how we’ll be found in him.

And being found in him is the only way to a happy ending – a happy eternity.

But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

Philippians 3:7-8

There is a lot of good in the world. There is beauty and there is love and there is truth and their is family and friendship and home.

But none of them are worthy anything if you doh’t have Christ.
And even if we lose all of them, we can still have Christ – who is of far more value.

Value, worship, glorify Christ and all these things shall be added to you.

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him…

2 Chronicles 16:9

Is your heart blameless before God?

No? Well then, these words aren’t good news.

But … if your sins have been washed clean by the blood of Jesus, then you are blameless – through the reconciliation with God that only Jesus could create for you.

So then it’s good news: God knows your situation and he will support you in the difficult times. Thank Him. Praise Him. Trust Him.

Be strong and courageous.
Because you’re smart or good or healthy or rich or nice?

No – be strong and courageous because the LORD your God is with you.

In 2018, God commands us with a comforting command: Don’t be frightened. I will be with you.

Because of what he’s done for all humanity.
Jesus is Worthy.
Because he was the lamb who slain.
Jesus is Worthy.
So every creature will praise and bless Him.
Jesus is Worthy.
He will receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.
Forever and ever.

And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

1 Corinthians 2:1-2

You don’t need to be impressive, of excellent, or the best in the world, or educated, or really smart or talented or popular for God to use you. So don’t let that be excuse.

“Oh, God couldn’t use me.”

He can. Obey him. Teach others about what Jesus as done for you and for them.

And you can start or finish with his crucifixion.
