“I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.”
– Paul, Philippians 3:10-11
So said Paul. For me, do I want to know the fellowship of sharing in the suffering of the Messiah, becoming united with Him in death? Am I willing to walk to Way of the Cross with Christ?
The day that we as a people (The People of God) realize that faith has much less to do with praying a single prayer at a single moment in time than it has to do with death and resurrection; constant crucifixion and apprenticeship, we’ll be a much healthier people.
