Fruits of the Son

12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;

13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;

Phillippians 1:11-13

Remember that old gospel song that some would oft sing. Let’s hear it all together now if you will where ‘out of the ivory palaces you have made me glad’ and all that’s followed really does matter. It’s a Heavenly perspective from here so on to there. I know, you’re probably quite likely wondering what does Paul have to do with this matter. Then again, why’s he up with the Father and not down here among men. It seems there’s seated in all heavenly places really with Christ and the gospel of which those ministers of his have no right to access thus far. It seems then that in the word’s of the Savior there also echoes the song of the blessed. Paul here hasn’t far to move without the Father being so named a bond-servant for certain though perhaps what the Lord had on his person isn’t what concerns us much rather. Instead though, he’s traipsed to Heaven and back carrying the cross on his back much as Peter who also denied him found. Then too, there’s some lightness to be expressed in the matter not as though Paul had been over-much burdened. As the grown-ups would say God knows where you’ve been and so too what’s to be done with us then. Having this own separate opinion, let’s trust Christ with whom the joy has become as our sorrows have all turned back to ash once again. They’ve all blown away in the light of his Son. As Paul went about, his trust in Christ so bearing his chains that worked out for joy. Though he’s not scantily clothed, in want, and in need as some had supposed. Instead, he’s got the garment of joy but for apparel with light of the glory and grace on his figure and some other fresh wind. Hush now, it’s the sound of praise offered back with the breath as in life or in death. Perhaps I can’t say it often enough. There’s some fruits of righteousness too in the mix as it were Christ on his person. Indeed, it’s hard to tell saint from sinner when these thus appear. I know to some of you children it makes no sense rather as them that should matter. I’m not exactly the best at the moment to you where anything should nor are you though perhaps in your families. It’s in taking the place that you’re given and so too a position as that of the just that these things have now entered. So that wherever Paul went was met with the breath of the Lord. Following Jesus then is all that would matter so that wherever could too hear of and rejoice in the Lord. There were many you see that hadn’t yet heard the whole eternal truth of the matter and that of the glorious gospel. Paul here is saying it’s in defense of his bonds that these things would work out to the praise of the Son. With a different plainer perspective it’s all fallen out in defense of the gospel. As you might’ve seen there’s a wall shaken and it’s not just of me. Should anything happen then to Christ that God get the glory. It seems very much those who would listen and to each their own several opinion.
