Paul is (once again) in prison. Because the believers from Philippi are close to his heart, he writes them a letter. When we read it almost 2,000 years later, we can clearly sense how the Lord Jesus filled Paul’s heart, even (or especially) in this prison.
Chapter 1: Christ – the purpose of life: “For me, to live is Christ.” (Phil 1:21)
Chapter 2: Christ – the model of life: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” (Phil 2:5)
Chapter 3: Christ – the goal of life: “I press toward the goal.” (Phil 3:14)
Chapter 4: Christ – the strength of life: “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” (Phil 4:13)
Does Christ fill our hearts in the same way?
