The Apostle Paul expresses his desire to “know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings.” Paul understood that knowing Christ is not just about intellectual knowledge, but a deep, intimate experience of His life, death, and resurrection. The resurrection of Jesus is not merely a doctrine to be believed, but a power to be experienced. The power of the resurrection transforms our lives, enabling us to live in victory over sin and death. But Paul also speaks of the “fellowship of his sufferings,” acknowledging that knowing Christ involves sharing in both His suffering and His glory. The resurrection power is not just for our benefit; it calls us to live sacrificially, walking in the footsteps of Jesus. The resurrection is both the power that strengthens us and the example that calls us to live with purpose, mission, and love.
