Gospel Meeting July 29-Aug. 1
Woodcutters Through the Forrest
Paul was a prisoner of Rome when he wrote
this letter to the church at Philippi. It was not the
first time that he had been imprisoned. One would
think that this would be a time of great discourage-
ment for Paul since his great desire and love was in
teaching others about Christ, but now it seems that
those efforts have been stopped. It would seem that
the progress of the gospel was being hindered. But
Paul would strongly disagree with this. Paul would
say, “Not so!” Apparently the church at Philippi had
written to Paul inquiring as to his welfare. And in his
response Paul says that what had happened, had
happened to the furtherance of the gospel. Paul is
still able to preach the gospel. Now he is able to
teach the gospel to those of the Praetorian Guard.
The Praetorian Guard was the emperor’s army gar-
rison or body guard in Rome.
When Paul said that his imprisonment had
actually resulted in the furtherance of the gospel,
what did he mean? This word, “furtherance” means
“a striking forward; progress.” Originally the word
was used of a pioneer cutting his way through
brushwood; to cut down in advance.” For example it
was used of removing barriers which would hinder
the progress of an army. It was used for cutting
away the trees and the undergrowth.
Paul’s imprisonment had been an encourage-
ment to the brethren. It had helped to clear away
that which would hinder the progress of the gospel.
How could that have happened? The brethren took
courage from Paul’s example. There’s no way of
estimating the power of a good example. These
brethren saw that God was not defeated. God used
this as an opportunity to use Paul to teach the elite
of the Roman army. The brethren at Philippi were
drawn out of their timidity and were embolden to
teach the gospel as fearlessly as had Paul. So
many times the leadership of one person to faithful-
ness influences others to faithfulness. I remember
reading a story of an atheist addressing a crowd
and spewing out his hatred of religion and the belief
in a Superior Being and challenging anyone who
believed in such foolishness to defend their beliefs.
At first none dared to say anything. They all
seemed to be too afraid. Then two young girls stood
up toward the back and began singing, “Stand up,
stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross. Lift high
His royal banner, it must not suffer loss.” Gradually
others, all over the auditorium, began to rise and
join in the singing. Soon all were standing and sing-
ing together until the atheist gave up and walked off
the stage.
