Christ in Philippians 4:8

"Rejoice in the Lord always...

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." (Phil 4:4,8)

I don't think Paul is speaking directly about the Lord in verse 8... but he could have been. It's certainly worth meditating on that list and rejoicing in how Christ fulfils it all:

• true
• honourable
• just
• pure
• lovely
• commendable
• excellent
• worthy of praise

[PS in case you have ever wondered, this blog is named after Philippians 4:8. I can't say that I have always listened to Paul as I should, but it is my aim, so feel free to hold me to account when I fail.]
