Some of us have got some pretty impressive resumes: schools, organizations, companies, boards, etc. St. Paul had a pretty impressive resume too: right family, right location, right kind of spiritual practice. But, what he clearly commends for the Christian is a second page for our resumes – a page 2. On that page there would be a list of the things we have lost or sacrificed solely because we follow Jesus! On that page would be a list of those things that we thought were golden but now know are garbage in comparison with a life with and for God. That second page would also make clear what we thought we were gaining by making our sacrifices. St. Paul put it this way, “I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead.” Time to update your resume.
