Farewell?
Philippians 4:21-23
Would this be that last letter of the Apostle Paul to the believers in Philippi? As the internal evidence shows, Paul is conflicted as to weather or not he will be released from the prison system of Rome and continue his journey to Spain, back to Greece (evangelize Crete), then travel north through Macedonia to Philippi and perhaps even on to Asia, Galatia and finally to Palestine and Jerusalem. History, has kept the final days of Paul’s life a deep secret. However, one thing is clear, Paul has now written again to his beloved Philippian friends and urges them on in the struggle and adventure of sharing the Good News of Christ with renewed joy. In these closing words to the Church in Philippi, joy in the Gospel and one another continues to be the banner Paul lifts up before himself and his dear friends.
