The Prize of the High Calling, Exposition of the Epistle to the Philippians -CCS by Charles H. Welch and published by Classics Publications.
The subject-matter of this book is a very necessary exhortation for the present day, namely, service that follows on identification with the Risen Lord and is stimulated by the ‘mind that is in Christ Jesus’, as the highest example, and then of those who follow as in Paul, Timothy, Epaphroditus.
Perfection is progressive, and we are urged to ‘go on unto ‘perfection. That suggests a resolute and determined pilgrimage. Paul said he did not speak as one that had attained, but, forgetting the things that were behind, he pressed on towards the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. And that should be a salutary warning to us all.
