It may seem disconnected from our life to hear Paul tell us, “Do not be anxious about anything.” Nice words, but they may seem as useful to you right now as all those Shakespeare classes back in high school English. And they would be, if the apostle didn’t go on to say what to do instead. If there’s something in your life that’s causing you to be anxious, it’s something to talk about with God.

Rejoice! Even Now? Why?
In Philippians, Paul exhorts us to Rejoice!” He isn’t advocating for any kind of forced smile or fake cheerfulness. If that was the case, then Paul would be calling for you and me to pretend we have joy where no reason for it exists. Then we’d be guilty to promoting that hyped up facade that Christians are so often accused of having – where we grit our teeth, put on happy face, and pretend that we don’t have struggles or concerns like other people. That's not true. We do! No, what Paul is saying here is much more than simply taking a deep breath and yelling “whoopee!”

Killing the Messenger?
Jesus’ parable of the Wicked Tenants is one that might leave us scratching our heads. Why would the owner of the vineyard, after learning that they beat and killed his messengers, send his son.? Why would God send His Son knowing they would kill Him, the Word made flesh? Why did the Father send Jesus knowing they would kill the messenger?
