March 28 - Saturday

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your time, then read the following Scriptures.

• Scripture: Philippians 3:1-16 

Reflect on the devotional, and answer the questions to dive in deeper!

• Devotional: Philippians 3 reminds us that the goal of the Christian life isn’t about stacking up spiritual credentials. It’s about gladly losing everything to gain Christ. Paul doesn’t romanticize suffering—he experienced plenty of it, and he counts it as real loss. Yet he insists that knowing Christ is far better than comfort, reputation, or control. Anyone who has walked with Jesus for a while knows this to be true! During Lent, this passage challenges us to ask whether we are clinging to our own sense of righteousness or resting fully in the righteousness Christ gives us by faith alone. Sharing in Christ’s sufferings is part of how God loosens our grip on this world and fixes our hope on the resurrection to come. So we press on—not because we’ve arrived, but because Christ has already secured the victory for us!

• Discussion Questions:
  1. What stood out to you in today’s passage?
  2. What questions do you still have?
  3. What is God asking you to do in response?

End your time with prayer, and ask the Lord to help you apply what you have learned today.
