Paul lays out his impressive religious pedigree and then says it is all worthless garbage compared to knowing Christ.
Paul’s pedigree was very impressive to the original hearers/readers.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is of the highest importance.
Men like to brag because their identity is wrapped up in their accomplishments.
My identity is in Christ alone.
Great conversation here in how the most important accomplishments are meaningless compared to knowing Christ.
Lord Jesus, thank you that my identity is wrapped up in you!
