"I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me."
Philippians 3:12
The topic written above in this paragraph was called "Pressing on towards the goal"
Reading this, it was very hard for me to understand at first but after reading it over, I began to understand it a little but find it difficult to describe in words.
What I took out of this passage is that our main focus should be continually focusing our lives towards Christ, building a foundation and a firm relationship with him. Therefore, we should have the willingness to press on and grab what we can and to learn what we can from what Jesus has given us.
In a literal analogy, if Christ Jesus came down to grab hold of you from dying (saving your life) a typical human response is to grab back holding firmly to the person who has just saved your life. We should not take him saving our lives as a burden but should be continually holding on, thanking him for everything he's done for us. For sacrificing his own life just to save us from danger.
