Meditating on Philippians 4

Paul ends his letter to the church located in the Roman colony of Philippi this way...

Philippians 4:22 reads... 22 “All the saints send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household.”

What an amazing thought that while Paul was under arrest in Rome, most likely under the Ceasar - Nero, people were coming to Christ right in Nero's own palace.

How hard would it be to live for Christ under Nero's roof???

Alexander Maclaren said about this passage. “Our duty is to stand at our post however difficult our surroundings and unfriendly our company, and if we are sure that He has set us there, we may be sure that He is with us there, and that there we can live the life and witness to His name”
From Maclaren’s expositions of the Holy Scriptures Volume 15 Pg 80

Where must you stand for Christ today? No matter how difficult - God's grace is sufficient - You are His ambassador!

Live holy, preach Jesus!
