SUNDAY MESSAGE
Sunday, July 21st
Pastor Randy Greer
“From a Dead Corpse to An Immortal Being”
Philippians 3:9-11
I love the old saying that “pain is inevitable; misery is optional.” No one is exempt from pain. We will either experience physical pain, emotional pain, or both. Not dealing accurately with our emotional pain will indeed lead to physical pain. It’s possible to suffer in other ways as well.
Some will suffer abuse, some will suffer persecution. We suffer when we lack or do without. But what in the world did Paul mean when he tells us in today’s text that in order to know Jesus intimately, we will need to ‘fellowship in His suffering?’
I’m an American, for crying out loud! I don’t want to hear anything about suffering. Suffering is a $3 gallon of gasoline; it’s enduring a 45 minute sermon! Suffering is a slow internet connection, waiting in a long line– being surrounded by people on the road who have no clue how to drive.
I’m sure this Scripture has everything to do with His death, and our ability to identify with Him as we die daily to our own sin nature. Lightfoot, a Biblical commentator, says “the agony of Gethsemane, not less than the agony of Calvary, will be reproduced however faintly in the faithful servant of Christ.”
Suffering as a result of our faith is never a penalty but always a privilege. I want to know Christ deeply, intimately…do you?
