PHILIPPIANS #7: THE GLORY OF HUMILITY

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of humility as urged by Paul in his letter to the Philippians.

I feel that at least on this occasion, we should look at this text in the way that Paul clearly meant the Philippians to understand it. He wasn’t trying to write a hymn. If he was using a piece of an existing hymn, that is beside the point. He wasn’t creating a theology of Jesus, either. Instead, he was urging the Philippians to be humble in practical, loving ways.
