Philippians 3:8-15 After 30 years of ministry, Paul says he Has not laid hold on Christ Jesus’ purpose in laying hold of him. He has not reached the mark, he is not yet attained his purpose for being saved. The greatest sinner, sufferer, laborer, after 30 years has not reached the mark. This should challenge us to pursue, run swiftly , aggressively chase after, Christ likeness, we have not arrived.
