Philippians 1: 12-13 ” Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.”

We see religious persecution…but Paul saw only the good that was coming from his imprisonment.  We see oppression and cruel treatment…but he only saw the furtherance of the Gospel.  Paul saw prison as the means of advancing Jesus despite all the hardships he went through…and to him, it was well worth it.
