Philippians 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
The Apostle Paul knows Jesus is more valuable than anything else in this life or in the life to come.
He sees Jesus as The Holy, Anointed One, the Savior Who gave Himself for all those trapped in sin, The Sovereign Ruler and ventral authority of all of life.
Truth is: you can have everything, but without Jesus you have absolutely nothing.
I’d Rather Have Jesus
___________________________
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold; — I'd rather be His than have riches untold; — I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands. — I'd rather be led by His nail pierced hand.
CHORUS:
Than to be the king of a vast domain — Or be held in sin's dread sway. — I'd rather have Jesus than anything — This world affords today.
I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause; — I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause; — I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame. — I'd rather be true to His holy name.
He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom; — He's sweeter than honey from out the comb; — He's all that my hungering spirit needs. — I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead.
Rhea F. Miller 1922
