Summary
Paul’s great letter to the Philippians is a surprise. In spite of the author’s circumstance it teems with delight in Jesus. In the introductory verses, Paul shows us the delight of being in Christ – how the gospel brings about a surprising identity, an unlikely community, and a sense of maturity.
Questions for further discussion:
What identities are people most often enslaved to?
How does delighting in Jesus bring about stability and joy?
