CHRIST IS MAGNIFIED IN NOTHING

Humility and a crucified life are in “nothing.”

Philippians 1:20 and surrounding passage has an obvious plain sense interpretation as well as some deeper waters: “⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, ¹⁰ that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, ¹¹ being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. ¹² But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, ¹³ so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; ¹⁴ and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.… ¹⁹ For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, ²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. ²¹ For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:9-14,19-21).

Our hope in “nothing” is Christ being magnified in our body. “For in Christ Jesus … avails … a new creation. ¹⁶ And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.¹⁷ From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus” (Galatians 6:15-17).

In nothing, Christ is magnified personally as well as corporately in His multimembered body “till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; ¹⁴ that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, ¹⁵ but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— ¹⁶ from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love” (Ephesians 4:13-16).

Give em heaven!!!
