There’s More

Paul outlines those two things in Philippians 3:10, when he states that nothing compares to knowing Jesus and the power of His resurrection.

Here, the Greek word know literally means a deep, personal knowledge that comes through experience. Paul isn’t saying, “I want doctrine. I want to just know about Him.” Instead, he’s saying, “I want a deep, personal, growing knowledge through experience with the Lord.”

In addition to knowing Jesus in such a deeply personal way, he also says he wants to know Christ’s resurrection power – in that same way!
