The Greatest Knowledge is
to Know Christ!
St Paul accepted that he
was a practicing Jew and persecuted the church. He was righteous new and blameless
by the law of Jews. After the encounter with Jesus St Paul considers everything
as a loss except the person of Christ. The worth of knowing Christ was enough for
him. He believes it is a gain and worthwhile of his life. All that life offers becomes rubbish for him compared
to the knowledge of Christ.
We have to reach the
state of St Paul to consider everything as a loss compared to the knowledge
of Christ and his message. One has to learn to love and live for Christ. The
world is not an end itself, but it is a means to know the surpassing
worth of Christ and experience his love. We have to put on Christ, have to
have the mind of Christ and abide in him. Then we will have the fullness of joy
in life.
What is the greatest
worth in this life?
