Paul was imprisoned, but he wasn't afraid or sad. Thinking about his dear friends in the city of Philippi, his heart was filled with gratitude and joy. He picked up his pen to write, telling his friends that whenever he thought of them, he prayed, thanking God for allowing them to join together in spreading the good news of Jesus. Paul said that although he was bound by chains, God's Word was not bound; instead, more people came to know Jesus because of it. He encouraged his friends not to be afraid of difficulties, because to live is Christ, and whatever happens, it is good.
