The

⁵I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am pure-blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin — a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law. ⁶I was so zealous that I harshly persecuted the church. And as for righteousness, I obeyed the law without fault. —Philippians 3:5-6

⁷I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. ⁸Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ ⁹and become one with Him! —Philippians 3:7-9

KNOW – This is not simple head knowledge but experience-based knowing.

¹⁰I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised Him from the dead. —Philippians 3:10

Can you imagine resurrection morning?

That same power lives in us today. That is why we celebrate.
