The book of Philippians is a book about joy. 19 times in just four chapters the apostle Paul talks about joy, unshakeable joy even in the midst of the most trying of circumstances. Remember that the apostle Paul is writing to the church in Philiipi from a Roman prison cell. Uncertain of his fate he takes time to write to a little church he planted and wanted to encourage. When you think about joy are you aware Jesus wants us to have joy? You recall that in John 15:11 Jesus said to His disciples, “These things have I spoken unto you, . . . that your joy might be full”. If the disciples had never seen Jesus laugh or smile they would not have understood what He meant by joy. Yes, Jesus was a man of sorrows but He also was overflowing with joy too.
