Philippians 3
Paul warns the church at Philippi to beware of the dogs, and no, he’s not talking about puppies or pack animals, he’s talking about those Judaizers who say you must be circumcised in order to be a follower of Jesus. If anybody had reason to boast in the Jewish-ness, it was Paul, and in today’s chapter he gives an extensive list of his Jewish commendations. He places no trust in these fleshly accomplishments, however, as his goal is only to know Jesus and the power of his resurrection. He is quick to say that he is not perfect, but he strives toward the goal of God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus, laying aside what is behind. Our focus should not be on earthly things, for our citizenship is in heaven.
