Phil
3:10That
I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
When
Israel was to leave Egypt, they ate the Passover lamb. The instruction was that
they ate it all. That nothing should be left out. Even the less tastier parts.
You were not allowed only to eat the tender parts, or the parts you liked, but
also the parts you didn’t like. This was of course an image and shadow of
Christ. You cannot pick and choose what part of Christ you want. Some only
wants the gifts. Matt 7 tells us how that ends. No, you have to take it all.
Eat the whole lamb. Not only the POWER of his resurrection, but also the
fellowship with his sufferings. To receive Christ, is to take it all. IT starts
at the cross….
To know him is to take part in all aspects of him. Not only the power and the gifts, but also the fellowship with his suffereings. The cross, and repentance.
