We cannot deny that we have received revelation from the Lord concerning the all-inclusive Christ. Only God’s revelation can cause us to have “this mind, ” the unique mind, the mind which was in Paul and in many who love the Lord Jesus and seek Him. This is a mind not to pursue a work or a movement, but to pursue a life which is absolutely out of the old creation and in God. This is the unique mind in Philippians 3 .
“This mind” involves both a realization and a resolution to pursue toward the goal. The practice of religion and ethics is altogether different from the realization of God’s goal and the resolution to pursue it. To have this mind is to have a mind to pursue Christ in His resurrection that we may live Him as the out-resurrection. We all need such a mind, such a realization and resolution, that we may pursue toward this goal.
