Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ. (Philippians 3:8 NKJV)
A poor man rejoices for the fortune he has found, a goldmine, which will supply his needs for a lifetime. He puts away his old rubbish clothes and left his old miserable lifestyle; he then puts on new clothes and lives an affluent life. He invites every- body to celebrate with him for a new found life, sharing his riches to his friends, neighbors, and especially to his loved ones, for everyone to enjoy. This is the same with our new life in Christ. We shed our old rubbish self of material lifestyle and the false joy in material things. We put on new expensive clothes, fit for the rich and famous in the Kingdom of God – the white robe of holiness. We have found the great riches in heaven, which will give us joy for all eternity. We sacrificed our old self to live a righteous, godly life. There is no regret! We found the excellent knowledge of Christ – we have everything that are true and lasting. He supplies us all that we need: in material and most importantly, spiritual. He gives us genuine joy to share with our friends, neighbors, and loved ones. Which is more important to you: the body or the soul? The world or the heavens? The dusts of the earth or the Gold Dusts of godliness? You and I are so blessed to win Christ. Do not be selfish. Share the excellence of the knowledge of Christ to others. Share His Words to the world!
