What does it mean to know the power of Christ’s resurrection?

Paul longs to know Christ, His resurrection power, and fellowship with Him amid suffering as he presses toward God’s call.

Read the passage in context

The title opens a study of Philippians 3. Paul’s words join resurrection hope to the present choices of someone who has already counted his old advantages as loss.

From the passage to daily life

Read verses 10–14 together. Paul’s desire to know Christ sends him forward with purpose and gives him words for suffering and perseverance.

Discussion and reflection

  1. What does it mean to know the power of Christ’s resurrection?

    Paul longs to know Christ, His resurrection power, and fellowship with Him amid suffering as he presses toward God’s call.

  2. How does resurrection hope shape perseverance?

    It places today’s labor inside God’s larger purpose and gives a believer reason to press on when progress is slow.

Put the study into practice

How Wigglesworth influenced Vince Baker

Vince Baker came to Christ on July 9 at age 17. For his July 26 birthday, his grandmother gave him Albert Hibbert’s Smith Wigglesworth: The Secret of His Power.

Vince recalls that God spoke to him as he read about Wigglesworth’s life and ministry. The book shaped his own walk with God and the way he teaches about faith, prayer, and yielding to the Holy Spirit.
