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?
