Graduation Sunday

Philippians 3:12-16

 

12 “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 

 

unresolved tension (to be trusted)

 

13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 

 

a trustworthy mind

 

14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. 

 

 

15 All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. 

 

God’s self disclosure (Jeremiah 31:31-34)

 

 

16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained.”
