The Resurrection Example
Series Series in Philippians (2007-8)
Aim: To follow Christ (even through each other) to ever-increasing glory.
Doctrine: The resurrection example teaches us how to suffer, die, and rise again (in Christ). This has been Paul's prior instruction and encouragement; all false ''gospels'' seek to circumvent this process.
Exegesis: The living truths of the resurrection example: success necessitates our embracing the cross (and not fleeing from it) (vv. 17-19); grace makes us current beneficiaries of heavenly living (vv. 20-21); perseverance requires that we believe God's promises (v. 1).
Further application: How to both follow and be resurrection models: imitate the faith of mature churchmen, and recognize that your religion will be noted and copied.
Key verse: v. 17 ''Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.''
