Yesterday we had a great time celebrating the most significant event of all time - Christ's death, buriel and resurrection! Both the cross and the grave are empty but heaven is filled with Christ's glory! Hallelujah!
The Lord spoke to us about "letting go to gain."
- Jesus let go to gain by not holding on to His exalted position but humbling Himself as a servant even to the point of death on the cross so that He could gain life for all mankind. See Philippians 2:4-11.
- Jesus taught His disciples the same principle when He told them that unless they let go of their self-life they would not gain eternal life. See Matthew 16:24-26
- The apostle Paul practised the same principle and describes his attitude toward what he let go of as "dung" compared to what he gained in Christ. See Philippians 3:3-11
- God honours those who let go of self to gain the Kingdom! See John 12:25,26
The more we let go of our self-life,
the more we will gain Christ's life!
the more we will gain Christ's life!
Quote of the week:
"...I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him..." Philippians 3:8,9
