Grace for your spirit July 30, 2010

Grace for your spirit
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God inChrist Jesus. Philippians 3:14

The prize in the gospel of Jesus Christ never lost its appeal to Paul and the early disciples. They endured trials and temptation to continue their quest to mature and grow in Christ Jesus. The more they were with it, the more they treasured it. When I was a little kid we yearned to get a box of Cracker Jacks. There was a prize inside that we just had to have and loved it. As we grew older, that prize in the box started to look like a piece of junk. This happens to many in Christ. The prize of Christ is glorious in the beginning, and then as we more forward, the shine comes off the prize. Soon we have cast it aside for something else. Let's hold onto that treasure, that pearl of great price. The best part of the prize is yet to come.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
