Paul starts a letter to his friends in Philippi, and he seems to be in an extraordinarily good mood. What is the source of his joy?

Paul has heard that, while he is in prison, some other preachers have been trying to discredit him. But then he goes on to explain why this is such a good thing!

Paul tells his friends that tolerance is a terrible foundation for community. Only compassion, humility – and death – are strong enough to stop the whining and bring true unity.
