The Apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians is one of love and friendship. It resonates with joy and gratitude, as Paul thanks this beloved church for their generous support of his ministry during his season of suffering in a Roman prison. This letter also resonates with deep theological truth. Its pages contain God’s promise of sustaining sanctification, during times of either favor or suffering, which is made possible through the death and exaltation of his Son, the Lord Jesus. God’s sanctifying work produces both the power to follow Christ, by forgetting one’s sinful past, and the purpose of following Christ, which is running into the glorious future that God has for every believer. This journey, informed by prayer and the blessings of one’s Christian community, produces a lifestyle of contentment and peace that guards the heart until the day God calls his children home. This devotional commentary, featuring the exposition of noted teacher and award-winning author Dr. Bill Curtis, will challenge and inspire you to “press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus!”
