Everything is Nothing

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, ….Philippians 3:7-9

Everything is nothing?

My mind can’t fathom this? Whose mind can comprehend this?

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Philippians 2: 5

For the salvation of the human soul everything became nothing.

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2:6-8

In yielding all, even life itself – to us, Christ became everything.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Philippians 2:9-10

The Lesson: Until I see everything else as nothing, Christ is not everything.

That I may win Christ, and be found in him*

Love, your girl forever,
