Philippians: Knowing Jesus, Knowing Joy

This is one of Paul’s prison epistles and is considered to be the book of “joy”. Paul wrote this book while suffering in prison in Rome. This letter brings forth the humiliation, incarnation, and exaltation of Christ. Paul urges us as Christians to grow in Christlikeness.
