~~Put~~Notes ~~whatever~~on ~~you~~Philippi ~~like~~/ ~~here.~~Jason

[ 1] where is Philipi?
[ 7] Paul is sharing his grace

Grace isn't just administered individually but can be given?
Or is it that others can take of the grace God has given?

[ 8] "bowels of Jesus Christ" - weird/interesting metaphor

[12] Was clearly known what he had gone through

Nice reminder that trials come to all, more to the righteous

[13] "my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace"

Reference to the heavenly castle / kingdom?
Interesting that it is known "in all other places"
Is this tied to spiritual warfare in some way?

[15] What does it mean to preach Christ of things?

"preach ... of envy and strife" / "preach of good will"
Perhaps to describe the motivation of the preacher?

[18] Regardless why it is being preached, note ...

Christ is being preached! rejoice for that!
Also a reminder how important it is to plan our emotional responses

[21] "For to me to live is Christ"

That makes no sense ... how can something "be Christ" ?

[25] Also a nice reminder,

Sometimes we undergo experiences for others and NOT ourselves
Here Paul seems to indicate he isn't doing what he wants
Because it works toward the "futherance and joy of faith"

[27] Interesting - everything before here is "here is why i'm an authority"

Now he offers councel
Amazing how being of one accord, in one spirit with one mind, are important

[28] We should "in nothing be terrified by ... adversaries"

And how, even that, is "evident token of perdition"
And is, for us, evident token of salvation of God
