As I talked about my life of “hot pursuit” all week, I was amazed to see that Paul also seemed to live a life in “hot pursuit”. Instead of chasing the things of this world and approval from men, he was in pursuit of capturing the essence of Jesus and all that went with that relationship. Regardless of how much he had matured in faith and godliness, Paul recognized there was still room for growth. The question I have asked all week is; How hot of a pursuit have WE MADE for a deeper fellowship with Christ? Are we grateful Christ has pursued us to be His own? If we belong to Christ we ought to be pursuing the things which relate to that relationship. I want to live the rest of my life as one who has been completely apprehended by the Lord.
TweetPhilippians 3:12 (NIV)
3:12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
