‏ Philippians 3:10-11

v. 10: Paul wants to know Christ personally, to experience the power that raised Jesus from the dead, and to share in His sufferings (Philippians 3:10 a). For Paul, knowing Jesus is not just head knowledge—it means living a changed life, dying to sin, and becoming more like Christ every day (Isaiah 53:11 b).

v. 11: Paul’s hope is that “by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead” . He looks forward to the final resurrection, when believers will be raised to eternal life. This is the ultimate goal and happiness for every Christian (John 5:29; Luke 20:35 c).
