Written to the congregation that Paul perhaps held in highest esteem, the Letter to the Philippians is full of Christ and overflows with an infectious feeling of great joy. And it's no wonder. For among the members of this congregation were Christians as diverse as Lydia, the businesswoman whose heart the Lord had gently opened, and the local jailer.
The church in Philippi was Paul's "joy and crown." But now, in his absence, problems had arisen among these new Christians, which threatened their fellowship and testimony.
How did Paul respond? In The Imitation of Christ, Sinclair B. Ferguson leads us through Paul's memorable responses.
