Answer:
When soldiers face the uncertainties of war, their minds often turn toward thoughts of death. They look for ways to find comfort for themselves and to comfort loved ones back home. Often, they write letters of thanks and advice, encouraging their loved ones to carry on bravely, and to live in ways that will bring them honor.
Well, in many ways, Paul's epistle to the Philippians is like a letter to home from a soldier anticipating that he may soon die. Paul wrote Philippians at a time when he was suffering greatly, at a time when he wondered if he might soon be killed. And he wrote to people he loved. And so, his words to the Christians in Philippi were heavy but caring; sad yet consoling; appreciative but bittersweet. From Paul's perspective, they could well be his final words of advice and heartfelt thanks to his faithful friends.
This is the fifth lesson in our series Paul's Prison Epistles. And we have entitled this lesson "Paul and the Philippians" because we will be examining Paul's letter to the church in Philippi. In this letter, Paul wrote to encourage the Philippians, who were worried about the sufferings he was enduring. As he anticipated the possibility that he might soon die, Paul wrote a letter of hope and encouragement for the times of persecution and distress he and the Philippians faced.
We will divide our study of Paul and the Philippians into three parts. First, we will survey the background of Paul's letter to the Philippians. Second, we'll look closely at the structure and content of Philippians. And third, we will explore the modern application of this letter. Let's begin by looking at the background to Paul's letter to the Philippians.
