This self-study guide will introduce you to the church at Philippi, where Paul maintained a close and unique relationship with the people who supported him spiritually and financially. Out of a heart of gratitude he wrote them a thank-you letter while imprisoned at Rome. In it Paul describes one of the most important and poignant teachings regarding Jesus Christ. In the second chapter he discusses kenosis—the self-imposed humiliation that typified the life of the Lord as a humble servant, whose obedience went as far as an undeserved sacrificial death for humanity.
