The Pursuit of Happiness Daily Devotional -27

by David Joynt on January 29, 2021


PHILIPPIANS 3:10 | 10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death.

The v-shaped pattern of the Christian creeds is also the pattern for the Christian life. Just as Jesus’ humiliation and suffering led to exaltation and honor, so our sacrifices and eventual deaths will lead to resurrection and to glory. Philippians 2:5-11 is His pathway as well as ours.

How can Paul be “like Jesus in His death?” Partly this means being loyal and obedient no matter the cost. Partly this means living and dying in a way that serves and helps others. But there is also a sense that it is in extreme moments when the power of Jesus’ resurrection is most visible and evident. 

Has your life been v-shaped?
