Our reading challenge for the day is Philippians 1-4. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?
Philippians 1 - Paul and Timothy face the same challenge all Christians do - to live in this world full of troubles is to be of service to other believers but to die in Christ is far better for each of us. May we all trust in the Lord as we remain to care for our neighbors.
Philippians 2 - Jesus emptied himself for our sakes. May we have the same mind he did. Epaphroditus is an example of a believer who lays down his life for his brothers.
Philippians 3 - Whatever our qualifications they are all as nothing in light of Jesus, who gives us his righteousness and conforms us to his death and resurrection.
Philippians 4 - We rejoice even in times of challenge and suffering. That rejoicing leads us to calm, to prayer, and peace. We can then consider all the good which our Lord gives us.
