Singing in the dark? Yes, Paul and Silas were heard singing in the prison in the ciry of Philippi. It was midnight. Their backs were bruised and bleeding, their feet were held fast in the stocks, and yet they found joy in suffering for the sake of Christ. He was their life, their all, and He had never let them down. That same life and joy are available to all of God's children, whatever their circumstances.
Some years later, Paul was again in prison but this time in Rome. He wrote a letter to the Christians at Philippi to encourage them. It can encourage you too. In Christ Our Life, each verse of Paul's letter is considered, explained and applied to our every day lives. There are words of thankfulness and prayerfulness, as well as instruction and correction. Paul wants us to be more like Christ. Throughout the letter, his joy in the Lord overflows. Such joy is infectious.
