To Live Is Christ: Philippians 1:12-26
Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel.
Paul knew they were worried. Their apostle in chains. Their partner in prison. The news must have felt like defeat.
But what has happened to me. What had happened? Arrest. Transport. Trial pending. Execution possible. What looked like disaster.
Has actually served to advance the gospel. Actually. Not despite the chains but through them. Not in spite of imprisonment but by means of it.
