Philippians 3:7-11
What You Value
Let it become trash in comparison to what is found in Jesus.
The word "trash" here refers to something of no value, refus,. literally dog poop!
Paul is not saying to throw Judaism away,
Just that there us no comparison with what he has found in Jesus.
Paul has traveled from LAW to Freedom-
To do so he had to throw away his learning and Jewish pride!
What You Get
Righteousness, based solely on Jesus.
Consider 1 John 4:7-12
Sharing The Pain
We are to share in Jesus' pain and suffering:
By God's design.
Through we become like Him.
Our fellowship with Jesus can be found in our suffering.
Yeah, not the popular idea these days.
Yet, Paul felt it needed mentioning.
