Go Further

From today’s reading…

Yes, I will go further: because of the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, I count everything else as loss. For him I have accepted the loss of all other things, and look on them all as filth if only I can gain Christ.” Philippians 3:8

In his previous life, Paul (Saul) was a man of power and status. He was judge, jury, and executioner.

He could speed around town with no seatbelt on, running red lights while talking on his cellphone, not pay for his coffee and donuts at the convenience store, and even shoot you dead for looking at him funny, all with total impunity.
