As we continue our study into Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we come across a passage that at first can seem a little confusing. But in this passage, Paul is laying out a truth that transcends both life and death. He shows us what living a meaningful, purposeful life looks like, as well as what it means to be prepared for death. Essentially, Paul gives us a glimpse into living a life in which you get the best of both worlds.
Even though it was written centuries ago, Philippians is a particularly compelling book for us right now. Our country is divided by social and political issues which inevitably trickle into our families, our workplaces, our culture, and even the church. How are God’s people supposed to live in these tension-filled times?
Paul’s wisdom to the church in Philippi provides answers and offers direction. The Philippian church existed in its own hotbed of cultural and political tension. Paul encouraged them to lean into the tension with a specific mindset of Jesus, who humbled himself by considering the needs of others before his own. By adopting this same mindset of humility as God’s people, we can fight for unity and connection in the midst of division. Whose thinking and way of life should we follow? Paul makes the case for it to be Jesus – and we need Him now more than ever.
