The point of these verses is to present Paul's purpose for this letter. This purpose is to express his thankfulness for sharing in the good news that Jesus is Lord and no one and nothing else is lord.
The fact that the people in Philippi joined with Paul in the proclaiming that Jesus is Lord took greater significance because in their context, this equalled treason. They were betraying the ideals of the Roman Empire and the requirement to declare Caesar as lord.
So the question for our community groups this week is:
What are the things that you pay tribute to and that inhibit your declaring Jesus as Lord in our world in our day?
