Chunks: Paul's Letter to the Philippians | Episode 19: The privilege of suffering

The Philippians, as we’ve seen, may have been suffering persecution from their unbelieving neighbors. Paul himself, obviously, has been suffering for the sake of the gospel; that’s why they’ve sent him a gift of support. But Paul wants them to have the right perspective: it’s a privilege to suffer for Christ, and they’re doing it together with Paul.
